Have finally got round to trying to clear round our pond - severely
overgrown.

Two main problems are variegated bamboo and (I think) a dogwood - both of
which are spreading like wild fire.

Not practical to try and dig out the bamboo so I'm probably looking at a
chemical solution. Will glyphosate work?

I can probably deal with the dogwood with very severe pruning

Any thoughts appreciated

Thanks

Yes glysophate will work on the bamboo so long as you don't cut it down
for 3 weeks after application, you will need to take care with this
sort of weedkiller near water.
