[QUOTE="David1968, post: 7872481, member: 162700"] Rotavating will chop up the roots and only multiply the problem. If you want to be chemical free the best bet is to spring tine it in the Spring time, as soon as it's dry, to bring the roots to the surface. If it's really bad you may be able to windrow them with the cultivator or a set of mounted harrows and collect them up somehow. You might have to repeat this a couple of times. Even the bits you don't get might dry up and die if they're left on the surface. If the ground is a bit hard you might be better to plough first to loosen it up then the spring tines will work better at pulling up the roots without breaking them into pieces. [/QUOTE]
