I for one have no shortage of O.p-s under my Q. a. Since O.p-s is sterile
and must be introduced, it is often not found in areas where the ground has
not been cultivated for many years. In my garden, Roundup followed by burial
under 12" of compost/soil a month later has at least thinned them down to a
reasonable level. At least its easy to pull up - even if the bulb rarely
comes with the root.
