Does anyone have a simple solution for bishop's weed?

Bishop's weed as in Aegopodium podograria? A rather aggressive deciduous groundcover in shade, it spreads by underground stolons. Digging up may only exacerbate the problem as it seems to regenerate easily from bits and pieces of stem and roots. Best treated with a broad spectrum herbicide in early spring as new growth emerges - older growth develops a tough leaf cuticle that is resistant to herbicide applications.

Use lots and lots of elbow grease while pulling it out!!!

You are suggesting RoundUp in the spring? I tried waiting until the plants were older;they were easier to pull out. Apparently if I don't get every tiny bit I'm doomed.

Yes, doomed. If you fail to get them all, it means the terrorists have won.

Nothing.
