Just off junction 38 of the M1 Access for large vehicles

Hi Wonky, I've looked into these before but I think they are just to incinerate the above ground growth. With Japanese Knotweed this is not the most viable part of the plant its the underground rhizome which is the real problem. I'm yet to see something which you can dump soil straight into and it comes out JK free. What we've done before is sift the rhizome out of the soil and then incinerate the rhizome on its own which works, however you cant guarantee that you got every bit of rhizome out during the sifting process so it still needs a warranty and monitoring for a number of years. There's also the environmental effect on the soil to consider if all the soil is incinerated. Every bit of good bacteria and insect will also be killed so the soil would be useless for anything other than fill.

If that's the case Gary then I apologise. I must have misunderstood.

The guy asked what sort of training is required to deal with Invasive Species. I was explaining that to offer a comprehensive service he would need to be able to offer an Insurance backed warranty. Agreed it was a bit of a rushed response however I was busy doing 'actual' work. What an aggressive response though Gary. It doesn't really attract people to want to be involved in your discussions. Although, here's a quote for you. "People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones"... What a ridiculous comment to make! It can withstand some surface heat from lava flow but If you excavate the rhizome and incinerate it properly its not going to grow back from ash!

We are on a job in Somercotes and have a load of woodchip and logs to get rid of which are mainly conifer. Can anyone help with this or know of any green waste recycling centres locally that will take it? Thanks in advance. Dan K 07843 680483

We specialise in Japanese Knotweed and other invasive weed eradication and have done for the last 10 years. We offer company backed warranties which allows us to monitor a site for a specified time and treat any re-growth. We are also part of INNSA (Invasive Non-native Specialists Association) and through this provide insurance backed warranties, this covers for another company to fulfil our obligations in the event that we ceased trading. Have a look at our website for further information www.nimrodltd.co.uk Thanks, Dan K

Hi, We need 3 x small Sycamores chipping next week at the above postcode. They will be felled and processed already so just need to chip on-site and whoever does it can take the logs if they want. It will be max 2 hr job from arriving on-site as we'll have lads on-site to drag. Please call me to discuss a price as there's no point in us towing our chipper all the way down there.
