Killing invasive bulbs?
I have a number of weeds and blue bells which are becoming invasive. They grow from bulbs and I can't dig out the bulbs because they are deep and entangled with the roots of shrubs and other plants.
Can I get rid of them by spraying their foliage with weed killer. Will it kill off the bulbs ?

I think that would be a major risk. You could try chopping/strimming them off when they first shoot through, that would probably weaken the plant and kill them off eventually (I think bulbs make their energy for the next year through the leaves which is why you shouldn't chop down daffs until the leaves have shrivelled back). Not sure why you would want to get rid of bluebells though, they're only out for about a month and pretty iconic of spring!
