We eradicated a wall to wall solid infestation of JKW from a son's

starved its root system to death. It took a couple of seasons.

Remember you can't legally bin or move JKW waste off your premises ;
best to just dry it and burn.

That's what I did last year with most. There is still a clump of JKW
by one the garden fences but it look quite nice so I'm leaving it.
