Tribulus Terrestris
« on: September 03, 2009, 11:59:27 AM »
a.k.a. Puncture Vine:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribulus_terrestris

I hvae been fighting an infestation at the burrow for over a year now. I just removed a patch that I rolled-up like carpet. The damn thorns are everywhere and I stepped on one night before last. I had to take an X-acto blade and cut it out of my foot because it started to ooze.

I'm about of the mind to go at the backyard with a few gallons of muratic acid.

Flamethrower.  You can pick up a used Warsaw Pact model for cheap.  Go big or go home!

T. terrestris is now being promoted as a booster for the purpose of increasing sex drive. Its use for this purpose originated in Eastern Europe in the 1970s.

Sell it to the DUmmies.

Would a Daisy Cutter be considered overkill?

Several varieties. The seeds have an unearthly resilience; that's why I'm debating muratic acid or something similarly caustic to destroy the seeds.

I call it devil weed because it seems demonic. It grows very fast, the seeds split and seperate, the vines can stretch for several feet, they grow OVER obstacles to fresh patches of soil, the seeds cling to everything, it can resist poisons, the seeds can lie dormant for up to 7 years, they say its non-allergenic but if I get stabbed too many times in one day I get nauseous. It's the perfect biological adversary.
