Have you ever used a digging fork? (I need to get familiar with mine again.) As you might visualize, the tines can straddle some of the roots. It's a handy tool for removing plants you don't intend to save.

Many ways to say it right, I think. 'Pull up roots and all.'
Seems like the only thing that is a bit weird is 'pull out by the the roots'.

'Carrot hair' or 'red' we call the orange haired people. I always envied them their riotous color. Fire hair.
