This thread was started in 2009, but it is the same exact question that I have. I have several mats that I need to take out, and I have already hacked them down to the ground. The problem is that I have severe back problems and cannot dig the corms out without some debiliating pain that lasts for weeks.

I have given away plenty of pups from these mats, and so they live on, but the remaining stumps have to come out. I wouldn't allow someone else to dig these out either because I have cycads and very expensive small plants around these mats, and they would die if they got stomped on. I also have a mat in my chicken run area and wouldn't want anyone in there either.

I've tried cutting off the stems and applying Round up yesterday. Anyone have any other ideas? I'll try the bone meal suggestion, but I have to go get some.

Thanks in advance.
