I have an old yard and a neighbour pointed out a troublesome weed to me about a year ago. He called it Japanese Knotweed. I have tried to kill this with Roundup, by covering the area with stones after spraying with Roundup, by cutting all shoots away, and all to no avail.How can I kill this Japanese Knotweed plant. I think that it is now spreading and appearing around the yard?Tangman
I have an average sized garden. With two growing children I have found myself gradually giving up flower beds and sowing grass seed with the result that our lawn is uneven, mossy, weed filled and generally unpleasant. I am currently adding to the grass space and reducing flower beds again and this time I want to do it right. Would it be best to dig up the entire lawn, level it and start again? Is there a machine I can get to lift the grass or is it a case of digging bit by bit? I assume then I should put down top soil and even it all out, what kind of grass would you recommend for a play area? Thanks!
