Does anyone have a simple solution for bishop's weed?


Bishop's weed as in Aegopodium podograria? A rather aggressive deciduous
groundcover in shade, it spreads by underground stolons. Digging up may only
exacerbate the problem as it seems to regenerate easily from bits and pieces
of stem and roots. Best treated with a broad spectrum herbicide in early
spring as new growth emerges - older growth develops a tough leaf cuticle
that is resistant to herbicide applications.
