Re: Grass in outdoor cactus beds

I know that Roundup kills it very effectively so you only need not to spray but use small brush and put small amount of Roundup on grass stems and leaves. It will kill all rhizomes also.

Re: Cleaning substrate? (pumice and zeolite)

Hola! I never do it, because substrate always contents some amount of debris that's why no sence.
It is not aquarium. 😉

E.g. Provado/Acetamiprid.
