The ironic thing about Aegopodium is that it's not easy to propagate well  
in a commercial setting; or, at least, it's not easy to get consistent 
rooting  and consistent size in a tray of starters. Go figure.

So does  anyone have any bright ideas for getting rid of the aegopodium when
it's  coming up among other plants in the garden? Mine hitched in with a
"gift"  from a very well-respected local gardener. I curse the day!

At a local  church, it was eradicated in a courtyard by covering it with
landscape  fabric and then topping that with a heavy layer of pea gravel for
a year  and a half. At least I assume it was eradicated. It's possible that
if we  remove the fabric/gravel and start  planting again, the stuff  will
again emerge. In any event, I can't do that in my garden. I try to  cover
patches of it with black plastic and upside-down containers but those  roots
just seem to migrate elsewhere.
