  I find Triclopy (available as Garlon or Blaster) far more effective than Glyphosate on groundelder........... one application usually kills it for good if there's a good bit of leaf on it.  60ml in 10 litres and saturate the foliage.

  really tricky stuff to get rid of one border I do regally and have done so for 15 years and still have not got rid of it completely glyphosate with a wetting agent early spring before the plants start growing  the elder appears a week or two before the plants

    I did my PA1/PA6 recently and opted to do the Eco plugs and stem injection while I was there as they are now separate, but if you've had your PA1/PA6 a while then your covered mate...

        I did mine January this year and it had been separated, yours will be a close call, but I know change was very recent so you may be clear, I'd probably just check with Progreen mate.

  Blaster every time - the younger the ground elder plants the better - if older pays to cut them back and then treat the re-growth.

  I find a systemic chemical called Gallop works fine especially for ground elder.

  I've had really good results by clearing it with a hoe, waiting for re-growth and then using Hammer on the young leaves. Some jobs its eradicated it in one hit, other jobs, two.

  I thought I would resurrect this thread rather than start a new one. I see trilogy (garlon) mentioned a couple of times. Would you mix this with glyphosate a la depitox, or use as a stand alone chemical for ground elder control? Thanks.

    The triclopyr in Garlon & Grazon definitely does the trick on GE but a re-spray is normally required. However, the product labels don't support Amenity Vegetation ( herbaceous borders) but excellent as a selective on amenity grassland, non-crop & areas not intended to bear vegetation.....

    For borders I would tend to stick with glyphosate that degrades quicker and add a sticker adjuvant for better results or cut the GE low and weedwipe it at 2:1 strength with Roundup Provantage 480g/L
