Victory over the garden menace
Discussion
Last year my borders were full of ground elder and it chocked every plant. I tried every sort of nasty poison, pulling it up and birning it to no avail. I considered taking out all the border plants, skipping the soil and starting afresh.
Then a friend suggested Roundup and although I have had to go out every day and spray the fecking stuff as soon as it shows its head, I think that victory is mine as I have seen nothing for a week now!

Good to hear that the advice I've been dishing out since 1987 still works!
You are not a Round-Up salesman are you? It has done an incredible job. Nothing else would touch it without obliteraing the whole garden and damaging the soil. Hopefully now the root system will rot down.Brown and Boris said:

You are not a Round-Up salesman are you?NB: There's now a similar product called glufosinate-ammonium, which I believe works a bit quicker, but not sure.
