How can I stop wild garlic spreading through my garden?


Our Advice:

Try spraying the leaves with Knockdown Systemic Weedkiller from Doff or 'Resolva' from Westland between the beginning of March and mid-October. Treat it before it flowers, because it spreads by self-seeding. Digging it up just encourages more seeds to germinate.
