Dear Cikgu Omar: I personally will not use weed killer because I am planting organic vegetables nearby. The thing about the Philippine Grass purchased from the Sg Buloh nurseries, is that, the soil which is used to plant the grass itself has a lot of weed seeds which eventually sprouts and grow healthily together with the Philippine grass. Sometimes the birds or wind carry some seeds to your house too. There are organic options on how to kill the grass 1)Pour vinegar 2)Pee. We usually pluck out the weeds and if you persist, it gets better after a year or two. Make sure you pull the weeds from the roots. I know, its hard work. Let it be a family thing. My Son does it very regularly. More than me.
Dear Cikgu Omar, thanks for the reply on my blog. If you felt offended, I apologise as it does not mean in any way to downgrade or disrespect my educators. My concern remains for students who expect their teachers and lecturers to spoon-fed them, as result we are encouraging students to depend on their respective educators, I hope you didn't offend as this article I post is intentionally to guide. I am also a teacher and we cannot play jack of all trades to do everything. It's like throwing two birds with one stone. Student must be independent to seek and discover knowledge. If we pamper them, how will they learn?
