In our back planter the only thing we actually like is the lilac bush (fully mature already). Everything else that grows in there is basically just weeds and we'd like to start fresh, keeping the lilac in there of course.
Can I just get Round Up (probably the one you attach to a hose) and go wild, being careful to avoid the lilac bush? The lilac itself would be easy to avoid, and it seems no mater how much we fight the weeds, they always come back. Not sure if the round up in the soil would then kill the lilac?
If that is a bad idea, are there any alternatives? I just hate looking in the planter and seeing all this ugly growth that I just can't seem to get rid of.
