I have a lot of a creeping weed called ground ivy (amongst other names) that grows and roots in every nook and cranny in my garden. It is difficult to kill and needs a systemic weed killer which I have in the shed. Is it pointless spraying it now or should I just hoick out as much as I can.

It’s usually recommended to use between March & September, so you’d be better pulling it out as much as you can & then use it on the new growth in the spring

It's a bit late now, Goosey, the stuff hasn't any juice to work on so as Snows says, give it a seeing to with both hands, and when it tries again in the spring, ZAP it!

As long as plants are 'actively' growing it is ok to apply it, however, at this time of year it will work a lot slower than normal.

It has grown quite a lot since I last removed a load of it so will give a patch a spray and see how it goes but , as said, it will be more effective in the spring.
