Japanese knotweed

They used to use Ammonium Sulphamate for controlling Japanese Knotweed. It was used from the 1940s until the EU effectively banned is use as a Herbicide in 2008. It wasn't banned on safety ground ... nobody was prepared to pay the costs to get it licensed in the EU (why pay to get it licensed if it wasn't patentable - all your competitors could sell it as well) hence it became unlicensed and effectively banned. Luckily you can still get it on e-bay as a compost accelerator which can be "accidentally" spilt as you make your way to the compost bin. The downside is that nothing will grow in the land until it has broken down into a fertiliser (around three months). -
That is weird. I have a brick path in the back garden that is infested with wind fall grass seeds, I googled this evening "what is the best weedkiller you can buy" and I got a link for that on amazon.Originally posted by ZARDOZ View PostThe best Weed Killer you can legally buy is GALLUP 360 available from amazon but not B&Q et al. Effective on JK. It's superb stuff.
