   I've been battling sticky weed on banks in the back and we bagged weeds   
   and put them in the trash but it came back since some things seed like   
   crazy.  I Preened the banks this year and it helped but some weed is   
   back.  We have had same problem with Japanese stilt grass.  Garden   
   center said pulling just lets other seeds in the soil sprout and only   
   solution is lots of premerg.
