Hi everyone, I am making a new bed currently occupied by LOADS of pachsandra, lily of the valley AND vinca vine (the last homeowners did nothing in their gardens) SO everything is out of control!! I pulled out the pachy and vinca by hand and then tilled it up good. Everything I have read says that the pachy will come back if just a little piece is left!! Plus, the lily hasn't come up yet, so I have no idea what that is going to do. I have a huge order from bluestone coming late april and I'm worried that all this ground cover will pop back up and kill all of my new plants- Any suggestions??? THANK YOU

If you can till once a week. The roots that you bring to the top will dry out and die. That will help a lot. I just can't promise that will get rid of it but it will help.
