Getting rid of ground elder
You can actually kill it off by repeated strimming for an entire season
I hard a similar approach for any hard to get rid of weeds. Sow grass seed and mow every week in the growing season keeping it really short. Apparently this causes the weeds to use up the energy stored in the roots faster than the leaves can generate it. Eventually (a season or two) they die. Then you can lift the turf (green manure?) and do what you like with the plot. Personally I am too impatient - I want to plant veggies in the spring. I am digging the garden and getting out all the roots I can (nettles, couch grass, brambles, some thing with red roots/tubers) and if necessary I will treat with Glyphosate in the spring. Mike |
