I need to know what this weed is and how to get rid of it  (12
Posts) bubblesinthesky Thu 09-May-13 15:44:54  Another question
for you knowledgeable people  Ive pulled some roots out and got
the thick root which then broke but I got then I got a long thin
tube bit as if I've pulled out the very middle of the root and
left the outer casing in the ground IYSWIM. Does this
sufficiently destroy the root or do I need to keep digging?
suspect I know the answer so will buy some more spades grin

Shame its just flowered again.  I really can't believe the size
of some of the roots. unfortunately I've broken some of them. My
plan is to dig everything out then dig the bed two or three
times again to get out as much root as I can. Its not helped by
the fact my neighbour has a huge ash tree in her garden which
self seeds lots of little trees into the bed amongst the
alkanet.  Its going to be an ongoing battle I think
