I have this weed that is forming all over the plot. Now it is not too bad because I find that when you pull it up, it comes out easily - is it chickweed?
It is a ground creepr, spreading over the ground, forms a fine-mesh ground cover about an inch thick, has tiny white flowers on it, when you pull it, it is "springy", as if the stems were elastic! it is fine and a bright green. Roots are very fine, but if you dig a bit, it all comes out, just shake the dirt off the tangles of fine roots.
I find that weeds that are easy to get out, I tend to leave them till I dig and plant an area because at least the soil is protected and doesn't get hard and compacted. But some buggers like bindweed or redshank I pull right out.
Is this a leave in or a pull out???
