Japanese knot weed- anyone know someone who can get rid of it?

You don't really need an expert. Speaking from experience, if you are patient (i.e. over the course of 3 years or so) you can eradicate it yourself with concentrated Glyphosate. Some people might tell you that professionals have access to stronger concentrations, but that's simply not true.


Send me a private message for more info.

Southwark Council offer a knotweed treatment service for a small fee. I would recommend talking to the team there- they will visit three times to treat the knotweed.


Good luck, many people don?t realise but there?s lots around East Dulwich so you are not alone!

Most effective method is to wait until stems are fully grown in the summer, cut off the top half, carefully hollow out the insides, and fill with highly concentrated glyphosate. This will ensure it is absorbed into the root system.


You can use a professional to take away the off-cuts, or you can look into ways of safely destroying them yourself.

    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour. 
    • Rose who used to run Grace and Favour has a wonderful shop called Butlers Emporium on george Street in Hastings You'll find it on instagram as butlersemporium3  
    • And from what I remember, she eventually cut the tea shop for a similar  reason to chandelier.  Chariot style buggies
    • Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened. Wasn't Grace and Favour's food offering more of a tea shop at the back of the actual shop? If memory serves the owner, whose name escapes me now, was one of the earliest people I know to move to Hastings. Which must now be crammed with South East Londoners 🤣
