Cape Coral, FL (SW Florida)Q.Knotweed Control
I have vast patches of what I think is knotweed. Herbicide control is not practical for me because I have certain blood ailments which can be worsened by exposure to such. Owing to the long tendrils of this weed, it seems to me that a rotary "comb" (horizontal axis) could be used to expose it, then a v-notched side-to-side blade could cut it off reasonably close to the ground (lawn height) while it is in tension. This obviously does not destroy or kill the weed, but certainly could be expected to tame it. Do you know of anything of the sort already available?

What should I mix w/RoundUp to get RoundUp to stay on weeds in the rainy weather?

August 19, 2015A.Spraying or applying an herbicide in rainy weather is really not recommended. You need to wait for a time of clear weather between the rainstorms. You can add what is called a Spreader-Sticker product to the spray mix to help it spread out over and stick to the foliage. Go to a local garden center or nursery and tell them you need a Spreader-Sticker product to add to your plant spray mixes. It also works very well for use in application of insecticides and fungicides.

Do you know how I can get this vine out of my flowerbeds? I have tried the method of cutting stem and painting on brush killer and this doesn't seem to work well either.

September 21, 2015A.If painting the cut stem with full strength herbicide has not worked, there is little else other than pulling the vine by hand.
