We have a field full of it next door , it's a nightmare trying to stop it advancing over our garden.. it comes under the fence we have a strip of shrubs there.. it grows between the shrubs where it's difficult to pull it out , luckily we then have the gravel driveway where we can see it and pull it up , it comes back every year .. :o(

Has anyone found a weedkiller that works on it?

I don't think there is one Annella , we have tried everything , we even put carpet squares along the side where it's coming through before we planted the shrubs it comes through that , I have seen it growing through tarmac roads ...

I apray it with something that kills the roots. (can't remember the name) It works on the little bits that are in my garden. I don't know how it works if you have a lot.
