| you can cut it back as much as you can and paint herbicide on the open wounds. This way you use much less chemical, deliver directly to the circular system for fast action, and avoid having to dig too much. The roots will die and eventually decompose to enrich the soil whereas digging will disturb your established microherd of soil beneficial organisms. |
