Unless you get the roots out completely they will keep coming back cutting them before they flower and set seed will help stopping them spread best cure is perseverance and patience

Thanks @michael57! I've got a long handled tool thing that digs town, I twist and it pulls up (with roots and all) they sometimes seem to regrow in exact same hole so maybe I'm not getting all the roots?
I have let it kind of just do its own thing for months so lots have flowered, I didn't think about that being the seed 😅 Oops!
There are some in the stoned area that has membrane underneath that have grown to higher than waist height, I don't really know what to do about them as they won't pull out the ground but I can't use my digger tool thing because of the membrane and all the stones 😵!!!
I was so happy to finally have a garden but didn't realise how much work they can be, I did quite a good job for a few years but had such a bad patch the last few months I haven't even been out there and it's feeling unmanageable!
It doesn't help that there's no drainage and under the grass is just rock (literally found whole bricks and chunks of concrete, naughty new build builders!!)

If the weeds are coming up through the membrane it's not doing its job or your not doing your bit haha little and often it sounds like the seeds have germinated gone through the membrane and took hold short of taking it all up getting weeds out and replacing the membrane with a good quality membrane not the cheap rubbish it's gonna be keep cutting it so it kills itself

@michael57 I'm definitely not doing my bit 🙈
It's round the back of my house in like a tucked away part of the garden, I get creeped out being round there so don't go to that bit very often lol
Plus I imagine the membrane was cheap and awful so that doesn't help either!!
Thank you for the tips ❤️❤️

An update on the ongoing saga of Rosie_Scope vs the snails. The only veggies left standing are the tomatoes. And…
The snails are still winning 🐌
Eggshells? Copper tape? Wool pellets? No problem for these super snails. Guess the only one getting fed from my garden this year is the wildlife 😂
I'm not keen on killing them off so I'll just leave 'em to it at this point. They're having a lovely time!
