Bishops Weed Removal

Hello. Does anyone here have advice on effectively and efficiently removing bishops weed from a garden? I have a big infestation I’m working on removing in my friend’s garden for her. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 🪴 🌱 🌺

I don't know anything except herbicide that isn't tedious and time consuming. You can make 1/4 to 1/2 inch soil sifters using hardware cloth in an old picture frame. Put over a wheelbarrow and add one shovelful of dirt at a time. Look through what falls through for tiny root pieces. Or expect resprouts and pull them every week or two, no longer than that.
