    Worry about it if and when a buyer raises it as an issue. In the meantime dig it up, cut it down, burn it and spay appropriate weed killer all over it. There's plenty of JKW adjacent to my garden. Spraying it is actually effective.

    Yes, but injecting it is better, at the right time of year, which is now.

    JK is like oca and other root crops which draw the nutrients back into their underground parts over winter, so getting glyphosate into the JK in autumn means the poison is taken deep into the root system, further than most people could dig.

    Plenty of info and equipment out there for those who want to take a DIY approach. ;)

    Save you money and treat it yourself. i Bought some Roundup 450 from agrigem.co.uk and it killed the Knotweed really quickly. I even had change from £100.

    Please tell me that you're a troll and not actually that daft.

    Lenny is a spammer - all of his posts suggest buying products from the same website and comment about how helpful the boys there are.

    I've just been marking his other posts as spam - hopefully he'll be removed soon. Pixie, you may want to edit your post to remove the website :)
