I'm assuming they keep coming back because (A) They hate that mowing dickhead (B) They have some pretty darn long roots there.
It could be that seeds are left in the ground. They can just child there for years! Farmers hate that cause it's a weedy phenomenon.
I have a nice pot of peppermint which the ground looks dense like a bus full of people and it still managed to grow some despite how dense the ground looks and summer fighting it with a water drinking competition.
Excellent! Hope it grows well!
TLDR: What options do you think a city guy has?
I'm not too confident in this area though. Maybe someone else could chime in?

Any reason why it can't be some deep roots? I have a crazy/stupid idea of using that garden to grow something, and roots would be rather troublesome with digging and stuff.

It grows EXTREMELY well - absurdly fast, to honest. I'm surprised there's still room for more growth after a year in the same pot.
By the way, what should I do about dead branches? There's a lot of dead branches and I'm not sure what to do with them.
