A six foot by two foot bed, thoroughly infested, is now showing barely
half a dozen new Ground Elder shoots poking through as the spring
approaches.


Hit them again now. The moment a leaf is unfurled it is storing more
energy underground and making extra roots.


I will do, I know just how tenacious this stuff can be.

In grass regular close crop strimming or mowing is surprisingly
effective.

Regular? Close?? That's me out then!
