Weed Identification Request- Uploaded Pics
In one of my borders close to a neeighbours fence I have several weeds of
similar appearance.When I dig them up they have thin white"tails" which often break which means I am not getting down to the root. I have tried leaving them in situ and giving doses of "Roundup" but apart from the weed changing colour they never look completely dead. When I do dig them up, another 10 or so start shooting up within about 5 days. The area in question is often damp due to being against neighbours fence. The other side of the fence is neighbours neglected area as their conservatory is also close to the fence. I have uploaded pics at http://tinyurl.com/frxta and would be pleased to know the name of this weed and whether it is possible to control it. Thanks. M |

A closer marco photo shot of the leaves would make it clearer, but the "thin
white tails" suggest its bindweed http://www.dgsgardening.btinternet.co.uk/bindweed.htm "M" [email protected] wrote in message ...

A closer marco photo shot of the leaves would make it clearer, but the
"thin white tails" suggest its bindweed I agree but from the pictures it looks like ground elder. Either way if it is coming across from next door you are unlikely to be able to eradicate it as it will always creep back. I'd just spray with glycophospate and/or pull up any bits you see on as regular basis as possible (at least once a week). this should at least weaken it -- Hayley (gardening on well drained, alkaline clay in Somerset) |
