You’ve discovered knotweed on your property and want to know what to do next.
The first step for most people would be to google it. There’s a wealth of good information on the internet about this invasive non-native weed, but also some myths and blatant lies. Don’t be put off by any scaremongering.
We strongly believe garden centres and plant nurseries should place written warnings on bamboo to highlight its invasive nature and educate customers on the risks of planting it in their gardens. We have been delighted to see some interest from the press over the last couple of weeks, covering stories about the dangers of planting bamboo, and we are glad we got to help by sharing valuable information with the public, which we hope will help raise awareness nationwide.
Bamboo can be an attractive addition to gardens, but its invasive nature often leads to significant issues. If not properly managed, bamboo can spread aggressively, causing damage, and creating long-term problems.
With Easter behind us, and summer on the horizon, now is the time when sellers come out of their winter hibernation and put their homes up for sale, hoping to capitalise on what is traditionally a busy period for the housing market.
To all our customers, I set up Environet in 1996 as an environmental consultancy; little did I know it would morph into the successful knotweed and invasive plant company it has become, employing some 30 people.
