thank you for that, il take better pics tomorrow when its sunny, its a
massive garden thats been left to go wild for about 20yrs and its full
of brambles, ive cut 3/4 of the garden down with just a bit left to do,
but im struggling to dig coz of all the roots that have spread
everywhere.

In that case, more likely to be rosebay.

Most people on uk.rec.gardening can't see your pics - suggest you post
them to something like Flickr and post the url. Remember that
gardenbanter is only a means of posting to a newsgroup, and not a
gardening group in its own right, and most of the knowledgeable
gardeners aren't on gardenbanter.

I take it thatr when you talk about Rosebay you are in fact talkong
about Rosebay Willowherb
http://www.dgsgardening.btinternet.co.uk/rbaywherb.htm

Rosebay willowherb does not have a massive root (and I couldn't see the pic,
just two lines across the page)

I think we can be too hard on Garden Banter posters,

Kay is one.

most ISP's have stopped
supporting Usenet

??? It appears to me, every poster here has an isp.

so how do they know we are here?

Because gardenbanter tells them so, in the sticky top post on their
screens which they are all supposed to read. Gardenbanter also shows the
weekly "welcome to urg" post which explains it again as follows:

"This group is designed to be used as a Usenet newsgroup.
You may be reading it via a website such as Garden Banter or
Garden Alley, which copies our messages. On such websites
you may not get access to posting unless you register with them.
With a newsreader program you have direct access to the group
without registration. You may also find that the presentation of each
message with its replies is easier to follow. Windows Mail and
Windows Live Mail contain a newsreader client but if you do not
already have one you can choose from the many offered he
