I’ve been at war with Privet. No matter what I do, the little bugger comes back in full force. How do I get rid of this relentless plant for good?

    Do you think covering a stump that keeps trying to resprout would do the trick? There’s one growing right beside a rose bush that keeps trying to crowd it out. Would it hurt the rose bush to cover it?

      The goal is to have all of the leaves completely in the dark to starve the plant. It will take time but yes it will work as long as it’s dark enough and no sprouts get around it. It won’t hurt the rose unless it blocks light oxygen or water to that plant.
