| Hi, Lolly, In my experience, it will come back from small pieces of root, so tilling it under may actually increase it :( Your idea of digging it out by hand in your new beds sounds better - you'll be digging in there anyway. Don't know about the "lawn" idea - artemisias tend to become a bit woody at the base. One suggestion to get rid of it might be to cover the "lawn" area with heavy black plastic, temporarily, while you're working on the beds - that should kill it back over a month or so. Not pretty, but you could spread a mulch over the tarps. My neighbor tried this to get rid of weeds, and it seemed to do the trick. Good luck! Best,
Jen |
