^ A very efficient producer and distributor of seeds. The seed pods explode when ripe showering seeds over a wide area.
I reckon it took me 3-4 years to ensure all the seedlings were uprooted before they could flower.
Don't remember the roots being a particular problem, but the milky sap is.
Wear suitable protective gloves to ensure zero skin contact.
Thanks – What do you think to rubble sack over the whole thing and dig it out? Not too worried about next year as we’re probably having the whole thing redone
Would suggest loosening the soil around the stem with a fork, rubble sack over the top, pull root straight out, if necessary snap stem, avoid any sap, to ensure it fits well down into the sack.
