goutweed & books

Dear Gardeners,
          I have a garden full of goutweed.  I need suggestions for removing
without chemicals.. Anything out there?


Also, I am doing some research and although I have information for Indiana,
I need maps or books with maps for the original distribution for native
wildflowers in Zone 5 and 6 states.  Suggestions would be appreciated.
Sources,  book, societies,  whatever might do it.  I don't quite know where
to start except at the computer.

It stopped raining here today, after mudfacing all of my plants for 11 days.
Of course, the road is flooded, but the plants will be standing tomorrow.

Rosemary,  it may not be up yet.  Mine shows up later and just about the
time I get crazy,  it appears.
