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.



Tried that plus numerous other stuff. Still in the border and under
hedge coming through from next door. Plus in shrubs under a silver birch
tree.
