Hi

I was surprised by some advice in this weeks Spectator page 20 from the
broadcaster Jonathan Dimbleby:

"Beware of knotweed conmen. You don't need smoothies in Range Rovers,
white boiler suits and goggles who charge more than your house is worth
to get rid of the stuff. The weedkiller Roundup does just as well for a
fraction of the price."

Can this really be true?? I have always heard that it's nearly impossible
to get rid of!
