How can I stop ground elder spreading through my garden?


Our Advice:

Try spraying the leaves with Superfast Long Lasting Weedkiller from Neudorff or 'Resolva' Xtra Tough from Westland as soon as the new leaves start to open. Several applications will be needed and it may take two seasons to kill off established clumps.
