>>2791551I used to get rid of Himalayan balsam. It's very invasive in the UK (particularly around our polluted rivers). But it's a losing battle so I stopped.
You can pull up thousands of it, and it's satisfying to do (because it comes out so easy with tiny roots), but it spreads so quickly and extensively that there will be twice as much the following year.
I hate it because it stinks.
