Sounds like a short row to me. What’s the pattern?

I get this. I’m left handed and I crochet and often find wool unplying on me. It sometimes helps if you start from the centre of the ball?

If you dig them out you inevitably leave bits of the roots in and they come back and back like the undead monsters they are

More practical tip, from bitter, bitter experience… whippersnip the leaves off then liberally douse in roundup. Only thing that kills them and saves a mountain of work
