Siberian squill HELP
Hi, all. I'm in the western burbs of Chicago. Moved into a new house in October. Was so excited to see what would come up in our ample yard this spring. We have a somewhat wooded garden section with a beautiful brick path along the side and tragically discovered in the past weeks that it is absolutely overtaken by siberian squill. Something I had never seen or heard of before, living in ignorant bliss. We have to get rid of it and I am overwhelmed. I read on here that one way is a 3+ year process where for 2 years you take off all the flowers and the third year dig up bulbs.
Is there another way? Can I just try and dig everything up now? Any faster solution? Also, how does one dig up bulbs?
Do we need to wait to plant anything native until the squill is gone?
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
