It’s chill it’s only the surrounding border of the yard which the already had in their yard so I don’t feel too bad plus there’s someone who keeps a tree of going. I keep it at bay by planting sunflowers and raspberries. They seem to be good shields for now. Hasn’t invaded my whole yard but I would be heartbroken if it did.
We tried everything, round up helped for two seasons but we used 6 containers of it tilled and did 6 more and then amended the soil with fresh soil and manure layered it and used 35% vinegar on the known spots. They STILL THRIVE.
I had to amend the soil anyways because after years of them being there the soil went partially hydrophobic and wasn’t taking in the water and was basically just dusty soil devoid of nutrients.
Root vegetables helped to mainly potatoes.
I learned from a cannabis forum that there’s a way to sign up for a special injector from your city (town or municipality) that you can inject the stalks with a herbicide that kills them from the inside out. Has the highest success rate but the wait list is huge.
There was discussions a while back and they said that you could possible modify a cattle injector for such purposes.




The entire river near my house is green due to the lilly pads and constant sun on it all day. The algae bloom is nothing new but I will say that the darker the liner, the easier heat and light will absorb, so the gray one was actually doing more good than harm and it also apparently helped the reflecting properties appear more.
