Got 4 x 5l of the stuff left over from a job. Anyone will to part with £150 for them all? In the Tameside/manchester/Derbyshire area?

Thanks for the replys, the membrane is a permeable one. Stem injection wasn't used and they are trying to cram as much as they can into the area and is being tarmac'd and used as car park spaces and walkways... Like you said, trees along roadways etc are tarmac'd up to seem to still thrive but with another form of barrier going in as well could it possible do more damage to the trees then good. The more I think about it, Tarmac, whacker plates and rollers around trees can't be good.

Hi guys, Basically, i have been watching a large firm with a knotweed problem on a site and where the knotweed is, is around a row of large TPO'd oak tree.. so felling (of the tree's) and removal off site (the knotweed) to a tip was out the question. They chose to put a surface barrier in (a 15mm geotextile membrane) to cover the area of knotweed and allow the knotweed to find a gap around the trunk of the tree and treat with glyphosate over 5 years etc.. my question is, would having the membrane there still allow the tree go have all the nutrients it needs etc or allow it to still grow and function as normal? May sound stupid to some people, but just asking out of curiosity. Cheers guys.

Still a thrill wether you go up for the first time or 100th.

A meaty bit of kit on site today,

Amen to that, I'm clearing 100hectares + of that stuff, you can get grants to get rid of it so make money from it.. Win!
