I've been invaded:
I know that some of my readers are gardening fanatics and I need you to tell me - how do I get rid of this insidious stuff (I think it's bindweed) with minimum strain on my 81yo back and with a guarantee that it won't return?
Alternatively, is there a way I can create a pretty, Chelsea-worthy garden using its pretty white flowers?
My main gardening tool is a flamethrower (aka weedburner) but it doesn't destroy the roots.
It’s tricky!
ReplyDeleteBut if you don’t want to dive it all up (and every bit needs to be removed or it will grow again) the best way is to wait until autumn when it’s died down and then cover the entire area with black plastic or other material that doesn’t let the light in. Plants need light to grow and in the dark they will die. But you’ve got to make sure it’s every little bit.
