| Hi, I am a newbie gardener trying to sort out my lawn. The earth is very dry and hard and when walking in barefeet I have felt some very hard roots of what I can only assume are weeds as there are quite a few of them and in the middle of the lawn away from the trees and bushes. I have taken some photos of the roots and the plants that grow from them. Can someone please help me identify what weed/plant this is and how to remove? I did try to dig out the roots but they got thicker and tougher the deeper I went. Please help! Many thanks      |

 Those are suckers from a tree. Tree roots grow a long way in search of adequate moisture. Do the leaves match any of your trees?

| I agree, those appear to be suckers from a tree that is somewhere in the vicinity! ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

| It also could be from a tree that in the past few years was cut down. If that's the case, it can take a couple to several years for roots to die, but keep digging or cutting. Anything i say, could be misrepresented, or wrong. |
