Hi all,
In my small front garden in South UK, despite deep digging and
removing it before planting new shrubs etc there is ground elder
shooting up.

I try and dig down each time and remove the root as far as I can.

Will this weaken it over time or should I use a week killer that is
painted on the leaves? if so which one?
Mick.

Is it only in your garden, or is it coming from next door? If the
latter, you will never be free of it unless your neighbour's ground
elder is also treated with weedkiller.
