Praise has recently been given to this stuff - but it's a disaster here - carpeting everything - lawn, beds .....
SO - any kind way of exterminating?? = Tim

We have a beautiful carpet of celandines at the back of the site.  Truly heart-warming on a cold spring morning.  And they're kept well under control - nobody need do anything.  They know their place, and they stay there.

All down to the wonders of companion planting - what a magically wonderful concept!






Just a pity that the effective companion is Japanese Knotweed  >:(  >:(  >:(    B*gg*r!  And not a great help to you - except perhaps to reassure you that there are worse?  ???

All best - Gavin

Sorry tim, but I suppose you`ve already tried using black polythene. Failing that I`m afraid that the only way I can think of is the unkind way - out of a nasty little bottle.  You have my sympathy.

aha...had to google it to see what it was.  We have it at our lottie, I think, growing along the bank of the stream.  Yellow buttercup like flowers?  Does look lovely underneath the brambles, and it isn't on my patch, so even lovlier!
