Yes, bishop's gout has been the bane of my gardening existence.  A couple
of years ago the flowerbeds around the yard had nothing else in them.  I
waged an all-out war armed with Roundup and a turning fork, and I've 
finally gotten rid of almost all of it.

There are still clumps that pop up in the middle of my perennials, but I
yank them as soon as possible.  I'll NEVER willingly grow that plant 
because of all the trouble that it has caused me.  :)
