Question:

I’m having a problem with perennial weeds in my yard. No matter how many times I pull or cut them, they keep coming back!

Answer:

Ugh! Thistle, creeping bellflower and other perennial weeds can be really challenging to get a handle on because of their underground structures that can store a large amount of energy. They can also reproduce from those perennial parts and seed. They can have extensive root systems that are hard to pull or dig all the way out. But you can get things under control with some persistence and an integrated approach of removal, thick layers of mulch, and where appropriate, careful and targeted herbicide use. See the video below for more recommendations!

NOTE: Herbicides (chemical plant killers) are not the “go to” option. They should only be used for judicious spot treatments and in ways that minimize risk to pollinators and other negative environmental impacts. You are legally required to follow the product label.
