If you get it when it is relatively small, it is easy to pull out,
or they can be hoed.

If it is bigger, you need to dig it out, so that it breaks off
several inches down; it will rarely regrow from its deep roots.

Compare that with the nightmare weeds, and it is a doddle. It
is no harder to remove than many vegetables!

It is quite vigorous, isn't it?
