What I do is:
-let unwanted clums grow until the autoumn. Those that are really in my
way
I mow down, of course.
-dig a trench, or just cut with a spade around, to find escaping roots
-pull out those roots. They are usually not deeper then a few inches. It
hurts the lawn a bit, but I don't mind it.
-replant those roots with their clums where I want it, or in the pots, or
just throw it (but then you could mow it as soon as they appear as Travis
suggests).
