At least I think that is what it is - certainly smells like it.

Somehow it has got into my garden and is spreading. I have dug up what I can
but some is growing amongst mature shrubs or plants that I don't want to
disturb.

Any idea how I can rid of it?

Regards.
Bill

Glyphosate will see it off-but you would need to carefully treat the leaves
of the garlic and not get it on the shrubs.
A safer way is to slice of the leaves just below soil level and carry on
doing this each time it tries to resurface.
You must do something soon before the plant flowers and sets seed.
I actually like the stuff but I keep it in check by the second method.

Ok, thanks.

Actually I quite like it too, that's why it has got out of hand!!

Will try method 2!!

All the best.

Bill,
dig it up at the back end and flog it on ebay.
I planted 100 bulbs and not one has appeared. I suspect that dispite
my efforts my "improved" sandy soil isn't to its liking yet. However
were putting on ebay - if only to raise a few quid to buy more plants.

I can't see the point in selling it on eBay to raise a few quid so that you
can buy more of it:-))
If you end up out of stock due to excessive demand I can supply you with a
few megatons of the stuff free of charge.

I've been trying to grow it for a while now, unsuccessfully. Proves the
definition of a weed is any plant in the wrong place!
