Ground elder, I'd reckon. Your mum should probably move house quickly :)

I think this site might have a better picture of what your Mum has... http://www.bioimages.org.uk/html/P158965.HTM and what to do about it..... turn the garden over to grass and keep mowing which will eventually kill it off. Or Dig out as much of the white roots as possible, let it regrow and hit it with a good systemic weedkiller, Roundup or similar. -- Regards Bob Some photos of my plants at..... Hope you like them. |

My own experience is that no matter how carefully you dig the stuff up
invariably bits of root are left which grow into individual weeds. I found that by using roundup (twice) I was able to completely rid one completely infested area of my garden but in the other area where I had spent many days carefully digging and lifting out lots of broken bits of the root, it was regrowing again season after season, even after using roundup, as the individual bits of root developed into plants and broke through the soil, good luck David "Bob Hobden" wrote in message ...
