	Elder
		The elder tree is due a place in the herb garden, however, due to its many uses and associations: medicinal, magical, practical and fantastical.
		The name elder is thought to come from the Anglo Saxon word aeld, meaning fire, possibly because of the use made of the hollowed out stems for blowing up a fire, the soft pith being very easily removed, (something that makes them excellent pea-shooters too).
		Elder is highly tolerant of pollution, quick to regrow after cutting back and thrives in hedges and on waste ground throughout the land.

	Ground elder \| Problem solving \| How to \| BBC Gardeners' World
		Ground elder dies down below ground in winter, which means it's difficult to spot when cultivating the soil.
		In existing flowerbeds, it's best tackled by digging up the cultivated plants and washing their roots to tease out the cream-white roots of ground elder.
		Regular cutting of the foliage, just below ground level with a hoe will gradually weaken the plant, but this needs to be done every 7-10 days, as soon as regrowth appears.

	Joanna's Food: Ground elder salad
		Ground elder is the bane of my gardening life.
		I don't use chemicals (although Lucius puts them on his croquet lawn), so we either have to mow it to destruction, or pull it by hand, which means getting every last little bit of white root, or else it springs to life again in a depressingly vigorous manner.
		However, on the principle that a weed is merely a plant in the wrong place, I have learnt to love ground elder, just a little, so that I don't fall into despair.

		I have been spreading this tenacious plant for the 8 years that I have owned this house and I am very positive on this plant (variegatum) because I live on a half an acre that is very wooded with many deer in the area.
		This is a very good ground cover for naturalized woodland gardens and best of all the deer stay away from it.
		If you don't want invasive ground covers don't go with it, but that's what ground covers are supposed to do-cover the ground.

	Forest gardening techniques on Leaf Street \| Roblog
		The comfrey is successfully out-competing ground elder, and goose grass, as well as providing multiple other benefits as a mulch.
		The ground elder has been spreading invasively on Leaf Street for a number of years, and has thwarted the growth of more desirable species, including alpine strawberries.
		At the very least, the ground elder forms a good ground cover plant, and is healthy for the soil, and is in my mind a lot better than bare earth - which is land in its poorest state of health.

	Royal Horticultural Society - Advice: Ground elder
		Although unlikely to eradicate the weeds completely, growth can be brought down to acceptable levels as the roots are less capable of regenerating than the rhizomes.
		Where ground elder is growing among the roots of garden plants the most practical control is to dig out the cultivated plants, carefully remove the weed roots and transfer the cultivated plants to clean ground until the infected areas have been cleared.
		Mulches of fl polythene or similar materials can be laid over uncultivated areas but may take several seasons to weaken growth sufficiently.

		Even total drought (ground cracked, virtually no rain for almost 2 months) can't kill it (it may die back and then leaf out again once it rains).
		In beds that I haven't been willing to completely kill with Round-up, I try to remove all blooms from the Bishop's Weed so that it is limited to spreading by runners, not seed as well.
		In my experience, this plant loves disturbed ground and will not grow in undisturbed areas--which means it is largely confine to my garden beds.
