Glyphosphate (e.g. roundup) works well on ground elder BUT it works
even better on grass so you have to spray very very carefully near
lawns or put up with dead patches of grass until you get rid of the
ground elder and then repair patches. The roundup DOES work but you
have to patient and do it 2-3 times (every few weeks until you get rid
of it).


I would only add that if you use a sprinkle bar rather than spray you are
far less likely to damage surrounding plants
