This weed has a long taproot, up to 6 inches
long or more. If left to seed it can reproduce
over 5,000 new dandelions from its seeds.
The roots need to be dug out fully. If any
part of the root is left it will produce
a new plant. Hoeing this weed will not get
rid of it.
Hedge
bindweed
This bindweed tends not to root as deep
as the field bindweed. It likes to creep
long distance above and below the ground.
The roots need to be dug out. If a piece
of the weeds root is left, it will grow
into a new weed.
Creeping
buttercup
With its vigorous stems creeping
across the ground it produces many
new plants. Dig out the weed and
put down some mulch.
Chickweed
Hoe the seedlings as soon as they
appear. This weed can spread seeds
that can survive in the soil for
up to 40 years and the seeds can
germinate at any time of the ear.
If the weed is already established
then the whole weed needs to be
dug up.
