Hi,
We have both common/black and deadly/red nightshade on and around the property. The deadly is way out back and is cut beyond reach but we have common in various places in the yard. I've been teaching my daughter they are poisonous and not to eat as I teach her to forage along with me, though I know there is a bit of controversiallity about the edibilty of the black variety and possibly using even the red(belladonna) medicinally in very small doses if you learn proper use of whatever but I have no intent to do either. Also the plants aren't too out of control, I did pull a few up by the porch because we got a new puppy who eats EVERYTHING even the milk thistle fluff from what's growing under the porch.
Anyway, they aren't in the garden to I hope foraging is a good place to ask but I've read that both varieties are hard to get rid of even with chemicals and I have no desire to use nasty round-up or other chemicals. Is there anything I can or should do to get rid of it? Live I've said so far I've just pulled a few but I'm expecting them to grow back.
