Hello Steve, I too live in norfolk and have the weeds that you are describing. They spread from spores and have very long roots. They grow to about 10" and are persistent. Round up applied carefully for a couple of years at regular intervalls. Its as hard as ground elder to get rid off. Cant remember what it is called.
Welcome to WAB, nice site. |

That is the name Steve. They are persistent and the roots travel for miles. Round up or another chemical that kills the roots without harming the other plants and trees is about the only way to get rid of them. Lots of people will not use chemicals but with some pests as these are, it seems to be the only way.
If you find a better way please let me know too. x |
