chamberbitter thread got me thinking about the worst offenders I fight constantly
-wild blackberry
-elderberry
-privet
-tallow
all of these get spread at my place by birds shitting in my trees.
lawn weeds I don’t care about
what’s the bane of your beds?

Not my beds or yard but at my land/farm, I have to work at killing Johnson grass, sweetgum trees and blackberry
In the yard, not sure. I do have chamberbitter in the cracks of my patio throughout the summer. Have a few spots that have nutsedge but not too bad.

Lawn - Doveweed.
Landscape beds - three-seeded mercury (easy to pull by hand though).

Yes, Nutsedge!
I had slowed it down eventually, but even better I moved and got rid of it forever!

Nutsedge. I absolutely despise the stuff and it pops up everywhere.

Lespedeza
VBW
Nutsedge
In that order. It's mostly for the lawn....rarely have weeds in the flower beds.

I dug up as much as I could by hand (back breaking work btw) and hit any new growth with a mix of triclopyr and glyphosate. It's weakened it a lot and contained it to a smaller area. It's woven through tree roots there though so I have to rely on chemicals to do the rest of the work for me.

Lawn-- Basketgrass in the back yard.
No selective herbicides will do anything to it. Spend way too much time pulling it; always seems to come back, but its numbers are dwindling probably due to my constant weeding and gradually being crowded out by the zoysia and St. Augustine
Bedding areas, particularly in back yard-- Bushkiller vine:
This stuff is insidious. Never stops. Runs underground and pops up everywhere. I swear it will grow a foot a day. Doesn't help that the guy behind me has a backyard infested with it. Biggest problem is that if you weed it, it just breaks off underground at the runners, and will just re-sprout:
Best you can do is try to get down and pull out as many runners as you can, but they will run under and through root systems of your shrubs and bedding plants, so it is a mess. Other option which works well is to pull a section of vine off the plants, bunch it up, lay it on bare mulch (or on a sheet of plastic if it is on grass or plants you need to save) and douse the heck out of it with Round-Up or other herbicide and let it take for a day or so, which allows the product to get absorbed down into the runners.

Yucca (shiate is armor-plated) and bamboo. You can't kill with fire alone.
