You can't just pull it, you'll need to loosen soil around the roots and
get all the roots out. It spreads by creeping roots, which you'll find a
few inches down (it doesn't go enormously deep). (They have a rather
nice smell).


If there are no other nearby plants I'd be tempted to use glyphosate.
I've used it very successfully on ground elder. Much less hassle than
trying to dig out those deep roots.
