resist like rhizomes. this meme brought to you by knotweed gang.
That stuff is crazy. Don’t cut it. Don’t disturb it. It needs every stalk injected with glyphosate directly, during its growing season. Seal the waste in bags and incinerate it in a CLOSED environment.
The seeds float and waft. They love swamps and creeks.
Or pick the sprouts, cook them, and eat them. They’re like hardier asparagus 😆
That does not kill them :(
No plant is magic. If you cut shoots, eat them, and repeat, eventually the rhizome will run out of energy.
Not with knotweed. It can manifest above ground growth in a few different ways, it can form a moss like layer.
Pulling the shoots also leaves chunks of root in the ground, which will start new plants.
And good luck eating enough once it spreads.
You can control it if you catch it early by covering it with black tarp, but if you miss a bit, you wasted all the effort.
Knotweed remediation is hard.
