I have tried to dig them out but they are deep and tangled in roots. I tried putting weed killer on them several years running but they just come up again the next year. Any ideas how I can get rid of them once and for all?
I have daffodil bulbs growing around the base of shrubs, I want to get rid of them?
I have used a glyphosate based weedkiller to get rid of unwanted daffodil bulbs... . I mixed the Glyphosate (Roundup) with wallpaper paste to make a glupy paste. I added some blue die to the mix so that I new which areas had been treated. Then using heavy duty Spray gloves (U must get the right ones) and armed with a paint brush I literally grabbed hold of the foliiage with my left hand and rubbed the chemical paste in with the brush.... The job must be done before flowering when the foliage is actively growing.... Anytime from now till April should be ok. Spraying the foliage is likely to be much less effective as the foliage is a bit waxy, water will roll off. Using the method that I describe will brusie the folliage therefore getting better takeup. Of course spraying will also hit other non target plants, whereas my method will not....After treatment the foliage should start to yellow in about 10 - 14 days.... Be prepared to retreat patches that arn't yellowing and of course freshly sprouting leaves. After treatment you shall need to be vigilant about re-invasion.... Good luck
Reply:A non-chemical method is to take a pair of scissors to it - keep cutting the green leaves back to the ground.
The bulb is an underground larder for the next year's flower; the food to fill the larder is made by the leaves.
Empty the larder and don't let the plant make any food and the whole process will starve to death.
Reply:Use a glyphosate based weedkiller (RoundUp)
That will do the trick!
