MOST invasives can be tamed with the use of old carpets .. Put a layer on top of the plants in spring and leave them there. Water will still get through.

This even works on Japanese knot weed / spring bamboo **need 3 layers and make sure the intersections are covered well. Start about 3 ft from the outside edge and work in to center. Ria
