This, in my case, has done NOTHING on my variety.. in fact.. I
literally cut each one with a pair of scissors and painted/dropped
Roundup in the stalk... no dice...

About the next thing I'm going to try is thick black plastic covered
for 2 to 3 years...

Ok, I assume Round-Up is some kind of liquid weed killer?

So I will cut the stalks and then spray the Round-Up on the part
still left in the ground?

What about all the roots that run across the ground?
What do I do about those?
Since they are below the ground, the spray wont get to it, and I am
not cutting them, I am cutting the stalks that grow upward, not
laterally.

Thanks


Paint the Round-Up on the cut culms immediately after you cut them.
Round-Up kills everything that is why you paint it on instead of
spraying it. The Round-Up translocates to the rhizomes (roots) and
kills them. Glyphosate is the generic name for Round-Up.
