Trouble is on its way......absolutely no trace of this at all last week.

In another 4 weeks it will be 9' high.....and will never leave us unless we do something to eradicate it.

Up here in Cumbria we have volunteer pulling days with the Eden rivers trust, but it's like peeing into the wind.

Please excuse my South African born ignorance for the UK flora but why is this giant asper-wotsit so dangerous?

Is it an alian species here?

Many thanks for educating me in this regard.......

Last spring a machine on one of my building sites scraped a hidden Knot weed plant over an area of about 40 square meters.

Its cost us £25000 to eradicate it. £8000 of that is for a guarantee from the contractor in case it returns.
