Yes it’s many years work trying to get rid off this plant, but it can be done eventually 😆🤞🏽🌿

Thank you so much. We seen less and less of this plant each year🙏🏽 🙂🌿👍🏽

@@WesleysPlantWorldHi see my new comment above how to eradicate without digging.

Hi! I live in Sweden 🇸🇪 where JKW isn’t illegal like in the UK 🇬🇧 where you probably need a specialist as you say. But in Sweden it’s highly recommended that it should be removed where possible and NEVER planted or spread in anyway.

@@WesleysPlantWorld Thanks Wesley. I loathe that plant. So Sweden has a very different approach to JKW i see. We are unable to get a mortagage if it is with 250 meters of your property. With you saying every now and then you get a shoot breaking through, if you had to leave it alone to it's own management would it simply run amok again? 👍😉

That sounds a bit extreme with 250m. So you have to know that all your neighbours are risk free then? Yes with just a few bits coming up, if left for a season they would recolonise easily. But this plant has never moved to different areas of our garden, it has remained in the same place for years. It can be tired out by constantly trimming down. But to eradicate it takes the removal of all the soil in the area probably a couple of meters down!

Hi England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 from Sweden 🇸🇪. I’m not sure what your rules are there, but here we are only allowed to take two see through plastic bags of this plant to the waste-recycling station at a time to be burned.

@@WesleysPlantWorld thanks for answering , I will enquire over here and get the rules correctly.

@@WesleysPlantWorld thanks for your reply. There's a management plan in place with a view to eradication (hopefully!) It's a huge garden with so much potential 🌱🌿

Because I haven’t needed to do all that with a lot of extra cost. Now we just pluck the stragglers up and keep the grass cut, this way they lose their energy over time as they can’t photosynthesise without growing stems and leaves. It seems to be working, but yes it will take years anyway 🌿

​@@WesleysPlantWorldI just watched a guy spend $1500 on heaviest landscape barrier available. That's way too much for my budget. After all that, it still will take years to get rid of the stuff, so I'm looking for another way.

Little bits come up here and there, but nothing like before. We’ll keep tiring them out, but it’s going well, although not at all gone for good!
