What's this

Hi,
 Been weeding today & found that I've got a lot of these in my plot. Can anyone enlight me as what they are?

it does to me too  KILL IT!

Yep from me too.

I've just spent the dying moments of daylight digging some from my borders.

If you dig your fork in and turn the soil, you should see a load of pure white root fragments about 2-5mm thick. Each one of these is capable of shooting and making a new plant which will grow into a wiry winding climber that grows a mile every day and entwines round everything.

Other than that, they're not a problem. You'll find dozens of them sprouting every day but if you're keen with a hoe, you can keep it under control and dig out every scrap you can find when you next dig.

Thanks all, I thought it might be but wasn't entirely sure. Looks like I got a nice little war on my hands as it's everywhere on my bit & the neighbours one.

i had this in my garden ive got rid of most of it now.the technique i used was on hands and knees with a hand fork.gently loosen the soil round the plant and follow the root.u can with care pull the whole thing out.i found it quite theraputic.it will come back after u have done this but there will be alot less of it and never as much as the first time u cleared it.
