My neighbour has got Japanese knotweed in her garden, it has now started to spread into my garden, can i force her to kill it?
In a word - No! You cannot force her to kill the knotweed on her property, you can ask her to take action to stop it spreading onto your property. You could also take the matter to court, but this will be a long and expensive road. Installation of a root barrier is an option, but once again an expensive one. The least expensive and easiest way in most cases is to speak to your neighbour and come to some agreement that suits both parties.
Is Japanese Knotweed poisonous?
No, in fact there are many recipes available on the internet containing knotweed, ranging from soups to knotweed and apple crumble.
