Default weeds in my garden.

(well... thats exaggerating a bit) What do I do? There are pits and
farrows in my lawn where I am pulling these roots out every day over
the last month, I mean every day!


There is no miracle cure TTBOMK that will stop the tree suckering without
harming it. Talk to your neighbour. You need to come to some arrangement
where the tree is removed without it starting world war III and preferably
not involving the law. Spraying herbicide on the roots/shoots on your side
could well kill the whole tree and without agreement that is a last resort
after negotiations have failed.
