  1. I know what you mean, but I think the problem with picloram is the enviromental issues of damaging surrounding plants trees etc. and the cost of the product, and to get 100% kill in one treatment is unlikely If you are using the correct rates, and not overdosing perhaps? I think my industry Is going to have big problems, if they don't regulate the use and application of all pesticides soon. As an example you can buy 480g glyphosate of eBay The environment agency are testing ground water and drinking water for it's presence at the moment, and due to the water frame directive an ec rulings It could be banned if unacceptable levels are found. Now where's that bottle of weedkiller, so I can have another drink hiccup
  2. As previously said the seeds are not the problem, I certainly would not be mowing or moving it around your site as it is spread from the stem and the rhizome root system! Lots of experts in Japanese Knotweed, I would recommend the environment agency knotweed code of practice for more informed good advice!
  3. Its in the Bury area for the Metrolink, Mainly 8 hour Days and a bit of 4 hour night shifts. I can sort out PTS etc. Just need good climbers preferably with tracked chippers or mogs. P.s. Thanks to everyone else who has replied and sorry If I don't reply personally, but I will keep your details and If we win the works(should know in a couple of weeks) I will be In touch, estimate 40 days 15 nights, but doesn't have to be all done in one possession, or perharps split the works in to smaller blocks with different contractors? Regards Steve!
