There have been numerouse posts on this horrible "Devil's Weed". I have yet found a positive solution for eradication. Several of my gardens are overrun with it. Here is how I'm going to try to eliminate it and would like anyone to pipe in.

I bought landscaper cloth, yards and yard of it. I'm laying it over the weeds overlapping the cloth and then I will put mulch on top of that. I have just started, so I know not what will happen. Does anyone have an opinion as to this battle plan.

I also would like to know if anyone has been successful in using another ground cover to crowd it our. I have lots of English ivy and that is a successful combatant. I also have sweet woodruff and I'm wondering if it would be a strong enough warrior to battle the "devil weed". Does anyone know ?
