sycamore saplings!


Hello! I'm new here having moved to a house with a large garden and
being a complete novice I thought it might be wise to get some advice!
I have been in the garden for most of the day today pulling up tiny
sycamore saplings (two leaves on stem) but although I have put in hours
of work I hardly seem to have touched the blanket of them that covers
the lawn and flower beds. Bribing my two small children with the offer
of 1p for every shoot they pull up has proved pointless as they gave up
after about 10 minutes! Can anyone give me an idea of how to deal with
them quickly? Will cutting the grass stop them from reappearing, or
will they just grow back stronger? Am I destined to spend all spring on
my hands and knees pulling the little blighters up? Any advice would be
greatly appreciated!
