Default Japanese Knotweed

Ca anyone help? We have just acquired 1 ha in France but there is Japanese
Knotweed there in large amounts. As we want to use the land organically we
would like to know of any way to get rid without poisons. We are also
thinking of keeping pigs there. Will they grub it out or is it poisonous.?

Thanks

Rob and Claire


Use Goats to eat the tops and shoots and use pigs to grub out the roots. You won't get rid of it but you will control it.
