    Hi all,

    Bought a house back in December 13 and am having my first go at gardening. Really enjoying it and have effected quite a bit of what I set out to do (big jobs at least!).

    However, I'm a little stuck with one corner of my garden where an unknown plant has multiplied vociferously. I have managed to get a portion of the roots out, although now fear I'll damage the roots of nearby plants that I wish to keep (roses + pear tree).

    Any help much appreciated re ideas on how I can get rid of the roots.
