Thanks. When did she last do it and for how long? It's interesting to
find out if it works for a season or more.

As she's recommended this to others several times, I would think she's
done
it some time ago.

Since it's apparently been around since the dinosaurs were top species, I
would suggest that eradicating it is at best an aspiration.

It seems to strike some places more than others. I'm literally clutching my
desk as I write this but we have none here, though our ground can be sodden
in winter (and summer, this year!) I think I remember someone saying you
could eat it, when we had a similar discussion years ago but I may be wrong,
so don't try it! Things often pop up in one part of a garden, get thumped
and then appear someone else. It can be an ongoing battle!
