Japanese knotweed problems

[Lockjaw]

Anyone know a good company to remove this nightmare knotweed in Sheffield.

 

You may wish to contact forum member seanF. He's a Japanese Knotweed removal specialist.

It is a complex organism that is difficult to kill. If you do not want to use weed killers then you have to remove the soil and put all the material though a bio digester.

That would cost literally tens of thousands of pounds.

 

Of course weed killers aren't healthy that is the whole point.

 

Its usually landfilled many meters down. I used to work for a landfill company. I'm sure knotweed soil had to be put into an area something like 4 meters below the surface and covered immediately so nothing could blow around.

 

It could possibly go to a soil treatment facility but I've never heard of it being treated in a digester.

What is your opinion if Japanese Knotweed was found 6 foot away from your property? And the property is of Timber build, is the Knotweed likely to be in the foundations etc! ???
