Pentaglottis sempervirens

It's only my second year in this garden, I didn't really bother to notice last year but, I have Green Alkanet growing everywhere this year, any idea how to get rid of it bearing in mind I can't dig?.

Weedkiller? Vinegar?

Re: Pentaglottis sempervirens

What weedkiller is safe with pets any idea?

Re: Pentaglottis sempervirens

I love it Twiz such a pretty blue flower send it to me .
I think it is quite easy to pull up, maybe try salt as someone suggested as a weedkiller in another thread.

I put salt and boiling water on a dandelions yesterday and it does not look well.

They're buggers to pull out. Roundup or Resolva 24 should do the trick(they also kill grass so don't use on your lawn). Both are ok for pets when dry and decompose in the soil

Re: Pentaglottis sempervirens

Thanks Warleyron I'll try one of those, it's good to have a personal recommendation. Don't mind killing the lawn too hard to mow! Meg, send me a self addressed envelope, a big one and I'll send them on!
