We have it. Persistent weeding and it seems to be slowly giving up. I
must try eating some one day. But not some with Roundup!

You have to be persistent but it will give up the ghost more easily than
bindweed. Never allow it to grow a leaf that isn't hit by weedkiller on
emergence and get every last piece of root you can. I have know someone
do it in a single season. Took me three years.

Paradoxically 2x over dilution of glyphosate so that you get a very
slower kill seems to work better taking down more root/rhizome through
having more time to translocate. No point in using weedkiller at this
time of year though the stuff is going dormant now.

I have an adjacent field laced with the stuff next door.
