I know a man who has that crap in his garden and he has scoured the internet in recent years to find a way of eradicating it. I think he gave up a few years back and just cuts it down annually now. I wonder what the application strength of the coffee and vinegar is. Must tell him. _________________ “It’s my field. It’s my child. I nursed it. I nourished it. I saw to its every want.

I thought I read it all. Didn't see anything about dilution rates, not much of a thesis without a full explanation!!! Will have a quick look again tomorrow. _________________ “It’s my field.

I read it again greengage and no mention of dilution rates or number of applications needed. If you can find out it would sure help. _________________ “It’s my field. It’s my child. I nursed it.

your right i just assumed that you didn't read the full article, anyway looks like you could do a little experimentation for us, Start off with used coffee grounds from coffee you normally drink, then try stronger and stronger mixes we look forward to your answers. Saw on another organic web forum that coffee grounds are a waste of time so there you go. |

But you are the fountain of all knowledge here, I don't have that cursed plant thankfully so nothing to experiment on. _________________ “It’s my field. It’s my child. I nursed it. I nourished it.

Well I have a pint of coffee every morning, instant during the week and percolated at the weekends. Lovely stuff. You must be a real country boy having the dinner at that time, what do you do for lunch then? _________________ “It’s my field. It’s my child. I nursed it. I nourished it. I saw to its every want.

You can't have lunch at 11 and dinner two hours later. Suppose you have supper too, whatever happened to three square meals a day? _________________ “It’s my field. It’s my child. I nursed it.

i saw something on TV a couple of years back about knotweed in the UK - in sites which were too sensitive to dig it out en masse (which carries its own problems anyway), they would cut it to a stump and directly inject roundup into the stump - and had to repeat this year after year. |

A very common place to see knotweed in the UK is beside the railway tracks, rampant in places and largely uncared for areas with low maintenance. _________________ “It’s my field. It’s my child.

It is getting very common here. I've even found some on top of a mountain on Arranmore Island. I think it got there with dumped builders refuse. It spreads vegetatively by runners under the ground. These can travel many metres before surfacing as a new plant. It will grow through concert and Tarmac and will easily sprout from cut-down stems so disposing of it it a real problem.
