| Hi,
Anyone have suggestions for how to control/get rid of that horrible garlic mustard weed ? I see large patches of it now already very green and growing - its come up within beds wehere I have some lamium and other low, shady plants situated for groundcover, but they haven't woken up yet. I'm thinking I'll just have to try and pull it all out, but it grows so vigorously ! Any ideas ?
Below is a link to a site listing the 20 top invasive plansts - its #3 !

| It looks like your approach is primarily what has to be done - I hunted around some more and found the site below that describes management options. There are no reliable biologic controls available yet (I sure wish the deer would eat the stuff !), so pulling the plants or using herbicides is the way to go. Looks like your idea of the ten-year project is what it'll be - the seeds can be viable for a loooong time :-) Philomena |
