I have been battling weeds with very long roots. Does anyone know what they are and the best way to keep them from spreading? I had been trying to pull all of them last year and finally got fed up and sprayed them with an Ortho product. Now spring has sprung and the weeds the weeds seem to have got an early start. Luckily our late snow has mad the soil muddy and I can actually get the whole root out... for now.
