"the vet will glady give you a loan of a needle" gearheads: sure look, sure listen

hi, I have to ask again.. I have loads more knotweed to remove.. it is about to flower, is it too soon to start injecting it? do I have to wait after it flowers and the sap starts turning down.. ? I did some patches last year it was about the same time and I cut it and filled the hole and it's not growing only some degenerated bushes like, but I am very nervous in case it explodes few years down the line I have maybe 2000m2 of it !! so a lot of work.. thanks a million! you are great help.

To tackle a huge patch, (make a few trails first on the inside and also blaze a trail around the perimeter), start inside the clump and spray all the stems first, then start at the back and work your way out spraying the undersides of the leaves. Next, go around the perimeter of the patch, carefully spraying all the leaves around the outer edge. Lastly, open your nozzle to full stream and spray over the top of the patch from all sides. Take heart, next year the knotweed will be stunted and easier to spray. 1)The ultimate date for spraying Knotweed is on or around September 15, after the bees are done pollinating. 2) Use 2 ounces Glyphosate and one ounce of a sticker per gallon. 3) Tighten your nozzle to just more than a mist (depending on distance away from the plant) and cover every inch of each plant, first the stem, then leaves and undersides of leaves too if at all possible. 4) The silver bullet to eradicating knotweed is this... when you are done thoroughly spraying... wait for the herbicide to be totally absorbed/dry and spray it all over again one more time! (2nd spray could be done the next day.) After only having 10 percent eradication of the knotweed clumps I treated year after year (for 10 years)... I finally used the double spray in one day technique and found 90% eradication the following season.

"Green Shoots" from USA have nice advices on YT as well. But in short words: do NOT try cut or plow them. It will return due deep to 10 feet rooting system. Broken "green part" with a NODE CAN START NEW plant. That's the reason it can NOT be cut as spread this s...t. Use roundup just before winter, when everything is transported from the top, green part to the rhizomes and crowns underneath. My neighbours have huge spot and they do NOTHING. At last - nothing good as they cut it :(

I have Japanese knotweed growing in my yard, and I want to get rid of them, but my neighbor has the Japanese knotweed and wants to keep it. Does poisoning them in my yard kill his? I think his will still invade my yard.

Thank you for the drill and herbicide injection fall treatment Makes sense that the sap retreats into the ground in fall

Well and simply explained

Where do you dispose of the dead plant after you kill it? Or should the dead plant be burned.

Is it expensive to get it professionally treated

Hi. I don't understand how to drill the hole and then inject the roundup into the hole? It's hollow it looks clear in the video but now doing it I'm confused thanks for any advice

It's NOT a bamboo! Bamboo is a grass.

you forgot to tell them not to cut it and why

Let u in on a little secret to rid yourself of this weed....pee on it and pee on it every day and it'll never come back again ..not a joke!!

Instead of herbicide, strong vinegars can also be used if yiu don't want to poison your ground ✌️ Thanks for the tip

Lemme save you 3 minutes. Knotweed is knot a problem. All you gotta do is get some garden variety scissors, cut it into manageable portions and roll it into an expansion joint. I won't lie, the only unmanageable thing about knotweed is how high it gets you when you smoke it down. It's the highest I've ever been, my mind snapped like a carrot. You know it's pure when you see those orange flecks. Just seconds after smoking a knotweed blunt I was flying high man, I started licking walls and eating dog food. When I came to I'd blown a load in my pants and had to throw out my boxers. Put me in a state of vegetative regeneration for a week. It was well worth the sacrifice
