Oddly, I've never found GE very invasive: must be lucky with my soil...


Sorry Janet B. I have to reply to this bit of the thread though I've
made several replies already

Some two years ago there was a big thing being made about a plant that
if grown in a plot of land inhibited the ground elder from growing
though I can't for the life of me remember its name. I know T & M or
some other firm were adverting the seeds or plants and they ran out of
supply.
Did anyone else try it or remember the details?

I don't, but my little patch of GE is losing the war against hardy
geraniums, pieris, michaelmas daisies, and ivy. I am probably going to
have to take up some GE and plant it somewhere else if I want to keep any
to have on pizza. :-)

Or at least do some weeding down there in the overgrown patch...
