With Robert Denny
In this video Robert Denny talks about some of the equipment and the methods he uses to remove Japanese Knotweed from an area.
At the end of the clip he explains a quick and simple method that can be tried by members of the public that wish to remove Japanese Knotweed from their land. (Attempted at their own risk)
Although rather attractive, Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) is a real thug as it spreads rapidly. In winter the plant dies back beneath ground but by early summer the bamboo-like stems shoot to over 2.1m (7ft), suppressing all other growth. Eradication requires steely determination as it is very hard to remove by hand or with chemicals. New legislation now covers its control - RHS, 2015

In Japan, many people eat this grass. Why not cook it like rhubarb?

I have been asked to give a talk about Japanese Knotweed in our local Schools by our Independent Councillor. Please check out my research ... butterflylullaby.blogspot.com/2018/06/control-japanese-knotweed-naturally-no.html

Where can I buy one of the injector appliances? I have been cutting each of my knotweeds and injecting glysophate neat, by a small syringe. Back breaking. I put the cut stems in a black bag to not spread it.

Stay clear of pesticides. They can cause Cancer! My Local Independent Councillor has asked me to give a talk in our local schools about my research on this plant: butterflylullaby.blogspot.com/2018/06/control-japanese-knotweed-naturally-no.html (You can get rid of it using electricity. Link on my above blog).

@@rsal1944 London Mums Magazine likes my Japanese Knotweed Soap. American and Canadian friends have this plant in their garden and love it. Because they are educated about plants and their health benefits. One makes Japanese Knotweed Soap and sells it. The other is making herbal medicine. But here in the UK we waste Tax Payers money on helping Monsanto get richer and richer, whilst putting our health, bees and planet at risk. Did you know that Lego are using plants to create Lego Bricks. They could use Japanese Knotweed. Please look at my research. Thank you! We could be creating many jobs and even green electricity with this plant, if we have the right Government in place. butterflylullaby.blogspot.com/2018/10/bee-soap-resveratrol-japanese-knotweed.html

I had some of this shit in my garden, I hired a mini digger, dug out the roots, built a fire in the hole, then sprayed the whole area with diesel mixed with sugar, I then spread out a ton of rock salt over the top. Take that slanty eyed bastard

Would this work on Japanese Knotweed's cousin, Russian vine?

Lemme save you 4 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
