It is not easy to care for the garden especially if it is a big plot of land. Green may be in and trendy but a lot of effort and time is required to maintain a garden. This task is especially difficult if there is the Japanese knotweed present.

Implications

The Japanese knotweed is considered an invasive weed species. It can take over its surrounding vegetation areas easily and render its competition futile in a couple of season. The subtle presence of the knotweed is not noticeable until they reign and rule in the garden.

Commercial and ecological crops or plants face an uphill battle on survival with the notorious Japanese knotweed; much less their multiplication and harvest crop. It may come to a point in time where the massive population of the knotweed would be too much for the gardener to handle alone. Professional Japanese knotweed contractors are required to remove the invasive species.

The strong deep root system of the knotweed is difficult to uproot completely without professional help. The stems can grow 10cm per day and soon reach a height of 3-4m. This weed plant can spread its foliage like the octopus and its tentacles. Nothing gets into its way for survival.

Professional control

There are some very effective ways to control the herbaceous Japanese Knotweed if it is too difficult to eradicate it completely from the garden. The professional contractor for removing the knotweed species from a garden may use various methods which include herbicide and excavation.

The knowledgeable professional controller on this weed would undertake to evaluate the circumstances around this weed plant before applying one or more removal treatments. These professional removers of knotweed would identify the best method to curb its growth while eliminating it permanently from the area.

Some professional controllers may advice their clients on the upside of the knotweed plant to seize the advantages instead of fighting against it. Many knotweed areas have been transformed as commercial plots where the plants' shoots can be harvested as vegetable and the stems' peel can be made into jams and desserts. As more and more variety of advantages can be seized from the Japanese knotweed, this weed plant can be turned into 'friend' instead of a 'foe'.

If the gardener does not wish to seize the commercial potential of the Japanese knotweed, then serious removal considerations must be undertaken with a strong determination as it is not easy and quick to eliminate the plant from its territorial stronghold.

Handling this new and insidious invasion of Japanese Knotweed has become a matter of concern across the British countryside and urban centers and suburbs. This fast-growing, hardy weed which was once cultivated by Victorians as an ornamental plant in the 19th century has mutated into a scourge that attacks old and new buildings from the foundations, waterways, drainage systems, motorways, roads, and airport tarmac.

Knotweed infestation, apart from causing destruction, can also bring down property values of commercial and residential land, and make property owners and tenants liable to criminal and civil prosecution under several environmental protection and civic liability acts. Getting rid of this urban nightmare has become a priority. However, many horticultural experts feel that the situation has been unnecessarily vitiated by the efforts of a few mortgage and realty companies who started the ball rolling by refusing to lend on Knotweed infested properties. They feel that Knotweed, while it can cause structural damage, is not as catastrophic as it's made out to be. With timely intervention, Knotweed can be eradicated quite effectively.

Today several companies offer a suite of services to help eradicate/control Knotweed and it's essential to keep some pointers in mind when choosing the right one for your needs.

Survey Services: Before investing in land or selling it, you can employ a surveyor to assess the property thoroughly and provide a detailed report of not only the condition of your property but also that of neighboring areas if you suspect that Knotweed penetration may be present underground. The RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, UK) is planning to bring out a study to help its surveyors to assess Knotweed infestation risks and provide a balanced and practical assessment of the risks.

Eradication or Control: Different strategies have to be followed for both. Most property-owners prefer complete eradication though it takes time, effort and money. However, for special situations like Knotweed in a waterway system, only control may be possible.

Chemical or Organic: herbicides are available for clients to choose from. Alternate treatments like vinegar and sea-water sprays have been found effective in smaller plots/weaker infestation.

Removal: is considered the best type of eradication, but also the most rigorous and laborious. Large tracts of earth have to be dug, as Knotweed is known to penetrate upto 10 meters and even the trace of a stem or rhizome left behind can lead to re-infection. The problem with removal is that the moved earth must be disposed of properly, otherwise it can contaminate water-systems and neighboring property.

Root-barrier, Cell-burial and Quarantining: are methods which must be conducted under strict supervision, since they are control rather than eradication methods. Frequent assessment of the restrictive barriers has to be undertaken by soil and horticultural experts.

Finally, taking proper preventive steps would be the best solution rather than attempting to eradicate or control it.
