Last year started with glyphosate, it all looked dead but slowly started

the subject. Now fertilized it with only nitrogen and watered. It's
coming up fast now, almost time for more roundup. Hopes are for the
nitrogen to make lots of new growth only up top so the roundup can then
kill the weakening roots, tubers, and whatever else makes this stuff
grow like the national debt.

Still fighting,

are you using any wetting agents
so that it sticks on the plants?

Yes, I forgot to mention adding ~1 tsp dish soap/1 gallon of glyphosate
mix. It works well. Doesn't bead up and roll off like the first
application.

I really like the latest method, I think it may work. I think it's
going to suck the life out of the roots. If I had to do it again I'd
also start in the spring instead of the fall.
