A friend planted a dozen young fruit trees last fall in what used to be a Knotweed forest. We dug up as many roots as we could and roto tilled before planting. He covered everything with leaves to control winter erosion. Now the knotweed is sprouting everywhere.
I suggested grass seed and mow it every week when it gets established.
Any other suggestions?
