what do you use to get rid of broom?

I have never had broom in my garden. However, I have had other
persistent weeds.

Roundup can be your friend. Just wait until the broom is growing
vigorously in the spring.

Mix the Roundup from a concentrate, slightly weak. Full strength might
kill only the top growth without killing the roots. Include a little
liquid soap in the mixture as a wetting agent.

DO NOT SPRAY! Spraying might damage adjacent plants that you want to
keep. Apply from a bucket with a paintbrush. You do not have to cover
each shoot in its entirety, but you should try to apply to at least a
part of each shoot.
