    Hi whats the best way to curb or better still kill ground elder growing out of a hedge? it’s a pest where it is but really a problem as it invades out from the hedge wary of getting roundup on hedge leaves or bark it’s mainly field maple with hazel and hawthorn ( just bought 5 litres of glyphosate £70 that’s a shock double what last lot cost ) suffocate it with cardboard and woodchip ? if I go for this would piling fresh chip against the hedge stems harm them ? tips welcome thanks david
