    Alpine Strawberry Nuisance

    How about getting one of those wands that roast the weeds with a flame? Never tried one myself but it should work on gravel.

    Rhodohypoxis

    I have always done it when they first appear above soil in late Spring. At least then you can find the resting buds from which they grow.

    Here's one I did, keeping it 12" away from the wall. Absolutely no need for membrane. The height of the earth on top solves drainage problems.
