I have a weed which has invaded my garden and I wage a constant battle

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?

Does it look anything like the two photos uploaded above?
When I read your OP, I thought immediately of the creeping buttercup,
which drives me gently potty in the veg patch. It corresponds pretty
much to your description, but it is relatively easy to pull up.
FWIW, I think I am correct in saying that Roundup will not prevent
stuff re-seeding, but merely kill what's there when you apply it. So
your patch can be re-infested quite quickly.
