Help! Ground Elder
I have some very healthy looking ground elder covering garden and lawn. I
want to get rid of it. Although I am normally organic, in desperation I borrowed a farmer's sprayer and blitzed the whole region with overstrenth glyphosate. It killed everything... except the bloody ground elder. I now have a very dead and brown looking garden with very green and healthy leaves of ground elder. Any ideas? |

Now there is nothing left to hurt you could try SBK Brushwood killer, its not very nice stuff but it does work. alternatively respray with normal strength roundup (glyphosate) -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |

I now have a very dead and brown looking garden with very green and healthy leaves of ground elder. That was a mistake. Overstrength glyphosate burns the tops off without reaching the roots; I find that even normal strength is too much for ground elder. Try half strength, sprayed at monthly intervals.
