My redbud problem? ? ?
Posting web pages is fairly easy once you get the hang of it. You must first
have an ISP (mine is Verizon) which gives you personal web space. The you need an editing tool -- Mozilla's Composer is good. And then you need SmartFTP for uploading and managing. That photo was not scanned, by the way, but shot with my digital camera. "Brian" wrote in message ... Japanese Knotweed can become a major problem if the eradication process is not sustained~~ even though I have known it to take four years with Roundup[The best]. Leave it untroubled and your only solution is to move house!! With us in SW England [Cornwall] it has become such a problem that the authorities have undertaken the spraying and have been many years in the process. It is also prohibited to dig up and disperse any parts of the plant. Even its ashes seem to have the ability to Phoenix!! I am relieved that others knew how to make a picture available. I have a scanner but beyond that I'm lost. Best Wishes Brian 'flayb' to respond. "Pam - gardengal" wrote in message news:H8skc.3446$I%1.298633@attbi_s51...

Look at the path to your image file: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Owner/Desktop/weed/weed.jpg You need to put your photo on your web server, and link from it there. Found it: http://mysite.verizon.net/vze4xpgq/weed/weed.jpg Now that I can see the image, it is defintely Japanese knotweed, Polygonum cuspidatum. This is not an annual but a perennial weed that can become shrubby in time. Pulling is not the answer - you can actually increase its spread by inadvertantly leaving portions of the root rhizomes either above or underground. This is a plant that calls for and responds to herbicide applications, typically repeat applications. As mentioned previously, control is not easy, but you don't appear to have a huge problem.....yet. This link may help: http://www.co.clark.wa.us/weed/documents/knotweed.pdf pam - gardengal |
