How can I stop ground elder spreading through my garden?

Our Advice:

Cut leaves down to ground level and as soon as the soft new leaves start to open spray them. Try using Superfast Long Lasting Weedkiller from Neudorff or Resolva Weedkiller from Westland. If this weed has become established, you will need several applications and it may take at least two seasons to kill off established clumps.
