People keep telling me I should get it removed but it looks so good! Coming up through the patio or drive yet, is it?

This, from the RHS web site, http://tinyurl.com/j9y78qd "On no account should any cut stems or roots be put into green waste bins or domestic compost bins without being dried-off thoroughly in the sun (and thus killed) for days or even weeks beforehand. The 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act made it illegal to plant Japanese knotweed in the wild or to allow it to grow by carelessly disposing of unwanted cuttings or soil". If nothing else, JK in your garden seriously devalues your house, and even those of your neighbours. http://tinyurl.com/zwvy94k and http://tinyurl.com/z9a2ftx Knotweed paranoia devalued my house by £50,000 but I was buying not selling. I've read all the tales of horror about knotweed but mine is nowhere near anything it could damage. Steve -- Neural Network Software for Windows http://www.npsnn.com |
