    Late to this thread as I’m away from home at the moment. You’ve had good advice so I’m just going to make encouraging noises and say do make sure that you leave the sprayed weeds until they have really died and turned brown before you pull them up ... that way you’ll be sure that the glyphosate has travelled right down into the roots and killed them too ... start removing them too soon and there’s a danger that the roots will still be alive and you’ll have to start all over again 😱

    Do it right, be patient, and you’ll reap dividends 👍 

    Good luck 😊

    I seem to be winning the war against the ground elder! On a positive note though I harvested loads of it (after reading it was edible) and have made a few meals with it!!!! Tonight I had a ground Elder and chicken salad!!! It goes lovely with rocket!!!!

    I do hope that is not the stuff you sprayed. :D
