<br>
How can we control lesser celandine?? Pulling is counter productive and the parks are not likely to nor should they do whole sale spraying. So what to do??? On my steamside property ive actually been digging up and disposing of the mats of plants along with the soil the bulbs are in. But not doable for huge fields of it.<br><br><div style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'>
