When I moved here 5 years ago there was a large stand of Japanese Knotwood...didn't know what it was at the time and left it alone. However within two years the stand had doubled in size to about 50 x 80 feet, and appeared to keep spreading and was taking over my garden. I brush hogged it down, and dug some of the rhizomes, but quickly discovered that was an impossible job. So, organic concerns aside, I began spraying with a product that I got at the feed store with the active ingredient glyphosate, believe the same ingredient is in Roundup. 3 years later I have a few sproutings, but overall, I believe I am finally winning the battle. However now, the horsetail is taking over....will it ever end??
