Good Luck getting rid of it, I know of one lady who tried to remove
it, and short of dropping a NUKE on it, no way.

I'm new to the NG and new to gardening, so I really could use some
help
here. We've just moved into a house, and the previous owners
planted vinca
minor in about 4 different places. It's starting to overtake some
of the
shrubs, so we're taking it out to plant some perinialls. (sp?).
Right now,
I'm just digging it up, by hand. My husband suggested tilling it
up. I
don't think that will work, since these are small areas. I've
surfed the
'net and the best thing I've found is just to dig it up. Am I
missing
something? And do I need to dig up all those little-bitty-tiny
roots, too?
Vinca minor is pretty, I'll admit, but when let go, like the
previous owners
did, it takes over everything it sees! Am I on the right track to
just dig
it up, or is there another way....without damaging the soil for the
new
flowers to be planted. :-) Any advice would be appreciated.
