Please.

Spot applied "Roundup" has seen off the ground elder we had. Didn't
have much though only in one end of a 2 x 0.5m bed but it had found
it's way around the end of drystone wall. It also took a year or
three of a couple of applications/year.

Eat it! It is apparently quite tasty when cooked, rather like spinach. I had
a friend whose garden was infested with ground elder. He (being half French)
eat it regularly and within 3 years it had all gone!
