I have also heard of a nematode that is a natural control for Japanese
Knotweed, it supposedly eats it from the root upwards but I am afraid
that's as far as my knowledge goes.

Thanks, but no thanks. I am dead against any form of chemical
weedkiller.

But what about the nematode? That's natural and they're very effective
against slugs, too.

Nematode? Sorry, you've lost me there.

I've quoted it above. It's at the end of Bill's post saying that he's heard
of a nematode that supposedly eats Japanese knotweed.
