[MAIPC] Stellaria media

[Susan Gitlin]

Hello.  My property in Rockbridge County, VA is heavily infested with
chickweed.  Where grasses are tall and thick, the chickweed stays at bay,
but the floor of my wooded area -- about 5 acres -- is green as far as the
eye can see. It starts to appear in the early fall and sticks around until
spring. (I am assuming this represents multiple generations, although I
could be wrong.) Moreover, anywhere that I disturb the soil during the warm
months in the interest of getting rid of any number of invasives, Stellaria
media shows up in the fall.  Should I even bother battling it?  If so, how?

Thanks for any suggestions that you can provide.
