        Agree with your removal method but it has to be done early in the year as it starts to sprout and sodium chlorate also does the trick

        But getting hold of NaClO3 is tricky these days and glyphosphate just isn't as good.

                    Well, a team for the lawns, a team for the borders, a team for the display beds, a team for the cut flowers, a team for the hedging, a team for the greenhouses, potting sheds and coldframes, a team for the fruit and finally a team (I call "The Moderators") to deal with the vegetables.
