It does work. It's not pretty but keep your nerve! Trying to dig it out
is
a disaster, frankly because every broken off bit of root gives rise to a
new
plant.

I wonder if it works with the dreaded Japanese Knotweed. I know someone
who's just moved into a house and seeing that emerging from the crazy
paving wasn't the best house warming present!
Perhaps you could give her a house warming present of a new paintbrush!

No, sorry, you've lost me there.


To paint on the weedkiller.


Ah, thanks. I've only ever used a spray for nuisance weeds. This
knotweed sounds like a pretty serious business.
