Black plastic sheeting, garden forks, mowers and herbicides can be used to get rid of ground elder. The perennial in question (Aegopodium podagraria) can have its near-surface rhizomes removed by garden forks even though underground parts further down will need to be dug up. Eradication may require solarizing the soil with weighted-down black plastic sheeting after spraying leafy growth in mid-summer and while using residual control products around and under nearbywoody plants.

What product is best for killing ground elder in the garden?

Black plastic sheeting, hoes and shovels, matches, pruners, and systemic weed killers are the best products for killing ground elder in the garden. The weed in question (Aeropodium podagraria) can be controlled by digging up roots, hoe-cutting foliage (which is edible between February and June as ground up seasoning or pasta ingredients), and treating with systemic weed killers. It also may be controlled by a coordinated approach of controlled burning, extreme trimming, and plastic sheeting, from which the ground will be solarized, the weed will die, and the topsoil will need to be replaced to prevent ground elder returns.
