Regarding Nils's wish for a way to apply glyphosate "surgically," something I've thought about a lot too, I think the place to look is in veterinary supplies. I seem to recall seeing large syringe-type devices used on cows' udders. I may get one and try it on long-established dandelions, severing the taproot and shooting it into the lower part. Just spraying them with Roundup (or even Crossbow, which I think is 2,4-D) does not kill them. However, I don't think it would work on Spanish bluebell (Hyacinthoides umbellata), because the main bulb is surrounded by many smaller ones. Like the dandelions, they were here when I bought this place, and will probably be here long afterward, though I'm discouraging them by pulling out the leaves once they have emerged.
