Not very - it is a grass. But they spread some way and are fairly
matted.

"fairly matted"!? I had to take a felling axe to ours, to split it up
into small enough pieces to be lifted into the barrow. Weighed a ton.
But marginally easier than the rootstock of a tree of the same diameter!


I so hated the one in my last garden that I hired a mini-digger (and its
driver!) and had the whole thing dug out and then its site deepened and
widened to make a pond!
