I unknowingly put in spreading/creeping bamboo into my garden. I now want to completely eradicate it! Last spring I removed it but it came back . I then used round up, the old strong stuff. It killed the leaves but not the roots and now I have more regrowth again. Through this soil there are loads of trade like roots and again I have more regrowth. What do you recommend I do now. Do I need to remove all this earth going back by 2 foot and replace with new topsoil or is there a less laboursome solution. I have grazeon 90 in shed

I have a 4 year old hydrangea which has blossomed each year pink so this year I wanted to change it to blue which successfully worked after adding colourant. what I did notice however was these beautiful blooms have fallen over onto the ground and doesn't look so good. Is there something I can do to prevent for next year. They seem top heavy but I have seen large bushes dotted around the country that don't seem to have this problem.
