Eradicate Asparagus from growing thru a lawn

Eradicate Asparagus from growing thru a lawn

Question from Shoot User
502 1
Hi again Mother had laid lawn where Asparagus used to grow, but in time they have grown back, but she liked the fern type plant it made, but now she want's it out as it's making a mess of the lawn, it's in the middle of lawn, so do I just try and dig it out as much as I can, an/or is there something I could put on the roots when I find them to kill them off completely without ruining the lawn and anything else in the vicinity.

    I would have thought that if you cut it hard for a couple of years (whenever a spear appears) you would kill it off. If it has no green growth above ground the roots will eventually fail. But I would also think that systemic herbicide like Roundup would kill it off too. If you can get it on the spears and not on the lawn it shouldn't kill the lawn.
