three cornered leek

I have a large bed of of "invasive" three cornered leek. How can I eliminate it?

 

What's a three cornered leek??

 

Its Allium Triquetrum. It looks similar to a bluebell except that it has white flowers and stinks of garlic, especially when bruised. It is often found growing wild although I think you can prchase it.

 

Oh. We call it ramsons or wild garlic up here. Have you tried digging it up (slow & labourious, I know) or light deprivation?. I think it's lovely, but if it's giving you jip (bit like the couch grass, & sticky willy in my garden)then I think it's a question of slow elimination. Good luck!!

 

I'm looking for an easy way out. There is masses of it.

 

What about weedkiller.

 

Flame gun? I'm organic so can't recommend the chemical route

I don't know if you've thought about putting allelopathy + allium triquetrum into google to see if you can find something that will inhibit its growth?

 

apparently it doesn't respond to Glyphosate etc, see above links

 

thats a bit unlucky, digging it out must be the only option then.

 

Thanks to Pete2255 and Bayleaf for your responses. The sites mentioned some herbicides so I'll have a go with them.
