[Felvtalk] Capstar/Nytenpyram

[dlgegg at windstream.net]

You cannot kill catnip, not once it is established.  We have pulled it (a piece of the root always survives), it loves Roundup, even vinegar has a problem dispatching it.  That is why my yard is full of it.  I just cut and re cut and recut.
