I have a weed which has invaded my garden and I wage a constant battle
against it . It spreads by putting out shoots which then pop up and form the

know what it is called.
I have tried using roundup and it certainly seems to work but some areas are
so bad I have had to dig them up as best as I can with limited success.
Is there a procedure for dealing with this pest?

Roundup sometimes needs 3 or 4 goes to finally kill off some weeds.
Do it in the growing season (next spring) 3 or 4 times at 2 weekly
intervals and that usually gets of anything except horsetail
(Equisetum). If you have horsetail, mulch heavily with concrete and
move house.
