Anyone know how to get rid of bamboo that is slowly spreading its
roots
across the garden please?
They are so thick and matted that digging them up is nearly
impossible.
I need something that can be put on the main patch but will also
kill all
the far-reaching roots.

You might try spraying glyphosate (Roundup and others) on all the
green parts. But having fought a battle against bamboo some years
ago, I know that you will have to apply it quite a few times at
fortnightly intervals when it is in full growth.
