It completely dominated one bed last year that I hadn't yet got round to planting. This year I have dug the bed over and there is nothing planted there at all. In fact I have three beds with nothing in the but bastard ground elder.
I know that I could cover it with plastic for years and hope it dies off but I want to plant there this year.
I understand that the sodding stuff will grow back from the tiniest bit of root.
I'm thinking of doing the full 'belt and braces'. Dig through and seive out the roots as best I can. Then come back to it a week later and fuck it up good and proper with some weed killer.
Thoughts?
