I have some very healthy looking ground elder covering garden and lawn. I
want to get rid of it.

Although I am normally organic, in desperation I borrowed a farmer's sprayer
and blitzed the whole region with overstrenth glyphosate. It killed
everything... except the bloody ground elder. I now have a very dead and
brown looking garden with very green and healthy leaves of ground elder.

That was a mistake. Overstrength glyphosate burns the tops off without
reaching the roots; I find that even normal strength is too much for
ground elder. Try half strength, sprayed at monthly intervals.
