Thanks for the suggestions. Roundup gel seems to be still advertised in various places so I will try that first and see how I get on. Wish me...
I have ground elder growing through other plants where I can't spray it or dig it out. The roots break easily because the ground is rock hard due...

I have just checked my neglected vine which is on an east facing wall. Despite all this sunshine it is only just starting to shoot and has some...
