Check into Landscape Weed Control Fabric. Once installed, use mulch
to cover the material. Like a screen, porous and allows water to pass
into the ground.

Thought of that, but the worst of this stuff is growing right up close
to the base of the plants we're trying to keep, hence my thinking about
chemical means. I might just pour some roundup into a mason jar and
crawl under there with an acid brush and try to get the leaves of the
offending plant life. I can't think of a better idea at the moment...

Sounds like a project using a sponge brush (el-cheapo).


put on a couple nitrile gloves, then a cloth gardening glove. dampen the
gardening glove with roundup, then just handle the leaves with the gloves.

no overspray to go anywhere.
