I've been trying to eliminate Spanish Bluebells for

again. They just keep coming!
Would using a contact weed killer stick or something
similar work on these?
TIA.


I have the same problem. I have a 1000 sq yard narrow garden and at the
bottom is what I call *my wood" lots of trees and I thought how nice it
would be to have English bluebells in there but even though I dig the
Spanish ones, planted by the previous owners, out, I cannot seem to
eliminate them completely and it's pointless to get them if I can't.
Also I'm reluctant to use weedkiller because of the snowdrops nearby.
Loads of snowdrops, including a double variety that I got from Germany
that I wouldn't want to lose.
