I watered well, waited a few days, and then started pulling and pulling and pulling. I picked up all the bits and pieces that I could. The next year, I dug up all the sprouts. I still get bits, and some creeps out from next door, but I'd rather use the old elbow grease than poison. My climate ain't that much different, and it did work pretty well. I mean, some people pay lots of money to get a workout like that!
