Wink I'll be watching this thread...

When the solution appears, I will be very happy.

We have a wild campanula that is HORRIBLE...very invasive.
I have tried everything short of poisons.
Nothing works. They have roots that go down 8-10 in and if disturbed or broken the roots make jillions more babies.

This is a picture.

I pull them out before flowering (to keep seeds down) and
pull out leaves (impossible to get all the roots) the rest of the year to starve them out. Nothing works. One year I forked the bed deeply and pulled out many, the next year I had DOUBLE!

So we live with it. Others I see call it "cancer of the garden"...and that is what it can be!
Don't let it go to seed...EVER...you will be very sorry!
