Re: Invasive groundcover/now Lily of the Valley

This is the experience I am now having with Lily of the Valley!  Last fall I
dug and dug and dug and dug ...  figured I finally had the last of it.
NOT!!!  As I'm patrolling the newly sprouting perennial beds, it is popping
up all over the place.  It is pretty for a few weeks in spring/summer but I
can't stand it strangling everything in it's path.  Can't use chemicals
cause its within the same beds as "good" stuff.  Any ideas anyone???
