Weeds with such an impressive root system need a different approach than just mowing, but many are unaware of this.
My city's landscaping services are fighting a losing battle with a local patch of Asian knotweed. Mowing it down doesn't do much because it just grows back and spreads.
- foobarian 3y agoI had some Japanese knotweed attempt to mess with my yard. Luckily even the knotweed is not exempt from laws of physics so after keeping it cut down for a while it gave up. It can be a problem if you can't prevent it from setting up foliage. At least it's somewhat edible, and the dry stalks have airtight sections that explode if lit - kids love it.
