A Seed Saver's Garden

[Alasgun]

I planted 5 originally, (in the spring) that fall i dug 2 out, gave one away and ground the other. The next spring i couldn't tell where the dug roots use to reside as every little broken off piece made a new plant. I feel confident that next spring i will have a Lot more plants.
Mine is in a raised bed and somewhat easier to deal with than if it were planted directly in the earth.

I have a maple tree problem on my property. IF we were to move out and leave everything undisturbed, my property would be a maple forest! They Love to grow under fencelines.
I have killed many of them in this way:
1) cut down
2) dig down 4-5 inches and hand saw it off underground
3) fill the hole tight with cardboard, cover with soil OR a brick
Next year it will be gone.
BY
THE
WAY,
I came up with this solution. Never read about doing it, and happy to share.
