I remember hearing somewhere that all you can do is spray with a good herbicide, wait till they come up again and respray. Apparently it can go on for a couple of years. If you try pulling them out it can make it worse, because of all the little bulbs. Jen |

I just about have mine under control by smothering it - I put down a thick layer of newspaper and covered this with a thick layer of mushroom compost, it hasn't spread outside this area and so far have only had two bits emerge through the compost that I poured boiling water over!! Good luck, its a dreadful weed!! |
