I live in Lyme Regis and we have the same problem as the local gardens. But I cannot find the name of this weed. I gather it is a weed or some subtropical invader. How to get rid of it. I am told it's impossible as the roots go so deep. I was thinking to chop the tops and poor weed killer down the stems.

I would think it is unpalatable. People used to use it as pan scourers because of its high silica content. Can't imagine it's good for teeth tho.
