Japanese Knotweed problems
 

Hi

I'm carrying out some research for a documentary on Japanese Knotweed and am trying to find out about people's personal experiences trying to get rid of it.

If you have been struggling to overcome knotweed in your home or garden, I would be very grateful if you could get in touch.

This is purely for research and there is no expectation that you will be involved in the documentary.

Hope you can help!

The town of Usk in Gwent (Monmouthshire) have an annual garden open day in the summer where several gardens are opened to the public. I visited a couple of years ago and there was one very large garden (with a lake) which had an area covered with Japenese knotweed. The owners had cut a path through the centre which seemed to stop the knotweed from spreading. Apparently it worked, why or how nobody knows. One theory was that the knotweed concentrated on growibg back into the path, but this was kept clear by people walking on it.
