How do I stop the spread of a weed that looks like Queen Anne's Lace
I have a persistent weed that when grown looks like Queen Anne's Lace. Pulling it out does not help as it has under ground shoots (or whatever). In spite of getting out as much of the roots as possible, it is spreading.What do I need to do?
I hope you can help as my neighbors are becoming fearful.

The weed you are referring to is goutweed. It is very difficult to get rid of because the roots wrap around other plants. Round-up is the only method which works. It will have to be applied more than once.
