Killing Austrian Winter Peas without herbicide? (lemmy.world)

I think this is really two questions in one.

First, would you expect Austrian Winter Pea to be winter killed in Zone 6? Maybe I chose a bad cover crop.

Second, now that these things weren't winter killed, what should I do to kill them? I did cut some off at ground level, but it looks like they have leaves all the way down so I'm wary that they will grow back.

Thanks!

Holes are fun! What kind of gardener doesn't like holes?!

I've been thinking about a hand sickle myself. Previous owners put in some Palmyra grasses that I like as little bookends on my frontage, but the weedeater always struggles with it
