I have had a fairly localised problem with this and only just found the identity. The first year I simply pulled them out. This year it has reappeared about a month ago. I had rotavated the area over winter. Any recommendations for a herbicide or treatment I can use. I am in Derbyshire.

Any glyphosate based weedkiller should deal with it, but for a smallish area I would just hoe it off as it appears. Rotavating may have just brought more seeds to the surface.

think the advice is dont turn the soil over, hoe regulary and you can get on top of this
