Getting rid of ground elder
"Victoria Clare" wrote in message .209... Jaques d'Altrades wrote in : However, if you decide to use the ground elder, the bulbs will be up and flowered before the weed has properly woken up. My lovingly tended ground elder has a lot of spring bulbs amongst it. Mine too. I think the OP could probably plant early bulbs under the ground elder now then glyphosphate it late next year after they have flowered and died down. Oddly, I've never found GE very invasive: must be lucky with my soil... The weed that bugs me more than anything else is that dratted small Epilobium (is it Epilobium montanum?) Seems like every single damn seed germinates! and the stems pull off just above the roots, so you have to make sure you don't just pull the top off. More of a nuisance to me than ground elder, bindweed and brambles combined (OK, well maybe not the brambles...) Yes. That one is a real little *******, if you will excuse my language. It gets into all the most impossible crooks and nannies and is the most prolific seeder in my garden and grows with the speed of light. It is helped along by the fact that one of my neighbours has a paddock which he seems to use specifically for cultivating E montanum Franz |
