Japanese knotweed


Recommended Posts

Seeing these notices everywhere local to me these days. Nearly every layby seems to have 1. Apparently its very hard to get rid of. Wonder is it like this all over the country or just around the North West.

I've cleared 100's acres of the shit using big excavators stripping the ground for housing sites......rip it out dig a big ass hole spray special weed killer and bury it.....think the minimum depth is 6m....then they decontaminate tracks and whole.machine to stop the spread?

All along the west coast as well.

A lot of places taken over with it.

I heard they were turning people down for mortgages if there was any of this in the grounds. They reckon it could grow through concrete 

That’s right same over here reference the mortgages. My mate has a very good business getting rid of it and all the other invasive species .......
