Bucko - put it into a trash bag. Aside from burning, it's the only way to deal with whatever you pull out.

Lawn mower works well on growing garlic mustard. If you can clip it off the top before the flowers turn to seed, then you stop the process. Takes patience and persistence but it can be done. And is much easier than pulling out all those roots. And, contrary to what the article suggests, it does grow in sunny lawns not just in shade.report abuse
