I call it a scourge! I used round up then vinegar then covered it with black landscape cover then a ton of mulch. That pretty well did it in for one season. the following year it crept through in several spots. I lifted back the landscape cover and found a mass of the stuff trying to find sunlight. I pulled out all I could find and recovered it. For the rest of the year it hid. I will see this year if it has given up. I am prepared for another battle! CHARGE!!!!!!
