I’m kinda half regretting the plant to be honest, it’s spreading vicariously, maybe giving it my cannabis nutrient runoff wasn’t the best idea…
Most of it is maintained with constant mowing of the grass/clover mix, rest I try to cut the sprouts as they appear. Gonna give it one more try this year with a little effort and see if the payoff is worth it.
So how should this be properly dealt with in the spring?
I personally just wait until the leaves are starting to bud so I can tell what's alive and what's dead, then clear out the dead ones. Make sure your gloves are good as it's all prickly sticks you'll be dealing with.
