I've just discovered a new plant in the garden, growing very vigorously. Japanese Knotweed. Well, fucknuggets. I'm going to treat it with glyphosate, not a substance I was expecting to be buying but leaving it alone to grow is very much not an option.
Edit: had long, long chat with local council bod and will be painting it lovingly with Roundup, then waiting a few months, then painting it again, then waiting until it starts dying back in the autumn, and painting it again. And waiting until it's *really* dead and burning what is left in a very hot fire until there are just ashes. For three years.
