Has anyone here had to deal with this invasive? I've got a small patch started an I'd like to get rid of it as soon as possible while it's small.

Is it in a field that you can mow? Just mow it, or if it's small enough, weed whack it. If it's tough to get to it will respond to gly, but the key is to hit it late in the summer. Not sure why, but it's fairly resistant to gly in the spring and early to mid summer. Might take 2 summers of gly to knock it back. If it's truly a small enough patch, you can also go in with some gly and a dropper...and break each stem in half and add a drop or two of gly directly to the heart of each plant. That works the best if the patch is small.
