BURN HELP

#### K replied on 2024-03-05

Idk, it might work 😂

### K commented on 2024-03-05

Or you could dig it all up and place it in pots or raised beds so it can’t spread

I suggest getting a good pair of gloves, a shovel, and several hours of downtime lol it took me 2 1/2 hrs to dig it all up, and whatever you see come up after that rip the suckers out lol
