My Garden Project

Thanks for the help! There re a few clumps along the border beside the road we havent touched so ill be very careful with it there aswell, ill lilely inject them and destroy them since they are healthy looking

As for the clumps in the garden most of them come out easily with a quick jolt and seems to be dead, dont see ny singular clumps, always grouping up in big balls almost

Reckong then injecting and roundup will do the job

Is there such a thing as ruining the ground? Like I wont be planning on using, if ever now, the ground until next year so bombarding it with roundup would that then be soaked into the soil and help kill the roots? im aware its a treetreetreetreetreetree to kill but we could soon round up the tools to do it :P

Usually you have to dilute some weedkillers(unsure about this roundup) so maybe keeping it undiluted will really kill it down

However mostly im wondering is

-Can I work at carefully removing as much knotweed as possible and burning it, including stalks above ground and roots i can dig up
- Will using large amounts of weedkillers totally ruin or make the ground hazardous? considering it will be tilled and topsoil etc added to it next year?
- Would it be wise to maybe add the likes of wild blakberry bushes to that area to maybe kill out naturally the knotweed? Find blackberry bushes left untouched here soon get out of hand and can take over
- Will the knotweed roots ruin any chance of planting in the soil, even If I were to pick any shoots it produces?

sorry for the questions but I realise this is quite a problem and feeling extremely disheartened now but in no way going to give up!
