Weedkiller for Wood Avens (Geum Urbanum)
 

Dear All,
I have a lot of this weed along with many others in my garden,
especially on a rockery where they are hard to pull out with their
roots. I sprayed Glyphosate 5 weeks ago and got a good kill on grass,
thistles and other types of weed but the Wood Avens has hardly been
affected, just leaves yellowing a little in some cases. Does it have
an immunity to Glyphosate I wonder? Glyphosate it attractive because
it deactivates on absorption by the soil and so does not obstruct
re-planting but I am willing to try another type, eg. brushwood
(hormone) weedkiller. Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences
to trade?

Thanks

Spot treat with Glysophate about 7 days apart, make sure you get all the
leaves wet.
