ground elder

hi all, does anyone know of any product which kills this horrible weed. I have tried roundup but was wondering if there is anything better that i could use without hurting the plants. many thanks.

Try tripple strength roundup.....even 50:50 water:roundup.

I use it at that strength for killing brambles. It has also worked on ground elder but takes time.

When it has been raining and the earth is soft, dig down all around the plant and gently pull out the roots as much as you can and as deep down as you can. You could always put a little salt around any roots that are left, but not too near other plants. Ground elder is a b***** to get rid of. Good luck.
