Does anyone have any thoughts on ridding my garden of this nightmare weed. I'm always digging up the carrot -like roots but it seems to be gradually taking over, help!

Glyphosphate should do the trick, but it will kill anything that it gets sprayed onto, so tricky in a mixed border for example.
Roundup is the usual choice and also available as a gel for spot treatment in a mixed border or lawn.
I use Rosate36 which is also glyphosphate, but much stronger.
Glyphosphate breaks down on contact with soil and becomes harmless.
Once sprayed, wait until the whole plant is dead - at least 3 weeks - then dispose of them - but not in the compost bin.

Thank you . Yes they're coming up in all borders too so very tricky. Think I will wait and find a paint on version later , such a shame to risk good plants at the moment. Thanks again Pete8
Roundup gel is a paint-on version
