how do I kill the white gooseneck strife that's taken overmy flower garden?I have tried pulling it out and digging and it seems to get worse!!!

The nodding gooseneck strife is very invasive. All the roots have to be removed to get rid of this plant. The only way to grow and enjoy it, is to keep it confined. For this use a large pail about 5 gallon size, drill one hole for drainage, sink into the soil. The rim of the pail has to be level with the ground. Fill the pail with soil and plant the gooseneck strife.
Latin Lysimachia clethroides.

Do you mean purple loosestrife? It has to be pulled by hand, and you have to concentrate to get all the tiny roots. It will have to be done more than once.
