Japanese Knotweed, I also have an abundance of...let me tell you, it is a superfood for pigs, chickens and turkeys, all of mine love it, try feeding it to your animals, it has been amazing for us!
Good luck with the tree of heaven and knotweed. I would add it to the weekly chores because if any roots are left it will be back with a vengeance. I'm fighting my own invasive plant battles and it is not for the faint of heart.
Japanese knotweed is one of the best remedies to fight Lyme's disease... interestingly it grows in all the same places Lyme's disease is found and both are man made problems
Sorry Justin nothing works on Japanese knotweed other than digging ALL bits as it will reshoot from any part left behind. In UK its illegal to cultivate it. People have had their soil sifted to a great depth to be sure to remove it. Never let it flower.
@@dertythegrower Make sure to use organic citric powder in that case. Non-organic is GMO derived from mold and has a lot of endotoxin as a result. Can be very inflammatory.
Japanese knotweed actually has medicinal properties that are helpful for Lyme patients. Phyllis Light and Appalachian herbalist says what you need will grow around your home. Maybe look into using the knotweed for your health issues that stem from Lyme disease.
Japanese knotweed is truly dangerous - in the UK if it grows anywhere near your house it is unsellable - it grows into the walls, floor etc. Good that you're getting rid of it.
I'm from the Netherlands and here it's also a big problem. I read an article aboud destroying Japanese knotweed with pigs. The pigs wil eat the roots. It works but it takes a lot of time. Minimal a half year
I was showing my dad your chicken tractor idea for my raised garden beds. He surprised me with 2! 1 is 12×6 for my 4 raised garden beds and the other is 8×4 and Ive had chicks in since day 1 for 3 weeks now. It's a little smaller and I can move it myself I need help with the big one for garden beds just casue it's so big not to heavy though. So simply yet so versatile and useful. Also works to keep your toddler confined and entertained with the chicls for a few mins😂

The vinegar recipe for killing vegetation is 35-45% vinegar, salt, and Dawn dish washing liquid. My sister and I mixed up 1 gallon 35% vinegar, 2 cups salt and 1/2 cup Dawn into a 2 gallon sprayer then topped it off with hot water to make 2 gallons. It works fast.
I try not to get mad when people don't understand turkeys but I had to pause and walk away the first few minutes in. Baby turkeys aren't fragile, they just aren't as domesticated as other poultry. They haven't lost their need for a parent or teacher like chickens and ducks. They are quick to learn from birds around them and when given the tools to succeed, baby turkeys can really thrive. I would love to give a lecture on the finer points of where things can improve here but after doing it for years on various channels I'm just to tired today so I'll just leave it at, hope everyone is having a good and happy Father's day. Everyone deserves to have a great day, because even if they are not here or the person you thought of as dad was not your bio-father, you made someone a father (at least once in your life time) so you should have a nice day too.
We haven't tried turkeys yet, but all the homestead channels I have watched do pretty much the same thing and have similar losses. It would be nice to hear what you have to say about it.
So I heard that try to get rid of a tree you cut it down to the route and then you get a drillbit a big one you make a hole inside the route and then you pour the Epson salted acid or vinegar in there and it’s supposed to kill it.,the root..we did this and it worked
So when you do that injection.. do it in the fall... when the knotweed starts dying back.. it pulls the solution back to the roots... and only under the first knot... they grow like grass as well.. if you pull it.. the rhizomes will shoot out and it will spread that way... its so hard to eliminate.. I dug up the entire root ball... still came back.. But... in the spring.. u can actually eat the shoots like asparagus just cut at below 6 inches.. People use it as a rhubarb type of thing.. but u can actually cook it. I tell u this because its so hard to eliminate... u might as well find a use for the problem that's never going away. Manage the best u can and harvest the rest in early spring..
Sorry to hear you have JKW at the house...it's a problem in our area too as people planted it thinking it was good for stopping erosion...now it's all over the place. :(
Here in the uk knot weed has to be dig up by a professional landscaper and the roots dug up and then destroyed, if they are near a stream then be careful when removing them, as seeds can float down stream and cause problems down stream.
sheep are crazy for japanes knotweed. I used to work for a company that did knotweed control with sheep. Eat it down about 4-5times, slighty overstock 🙂 First year expansion should stop, after that, just keep on top of it, eventually it will disappear, but as it is just fodder... Digging it out, expect to go up to 8m (24ft I think?) down. Glyfo is only slightly more effective than sheep btw. Spraying it once won't kill it! Spraying it 4-5times/year, keep it up for a few year (ow wait, that's even more intensive than sheep!)
Pro tips on the crushing the knotweed... citric acid powder used for gummy bears from fruit... add 8tbps to a gallon of rain water.... the pH will zap the roots asap, heh.
The best way to use Horticultural vinegar on big weeds is to cut off & compost all the top growth, or rip it out if you can. Immediately spray the vinegar on any open stems & roots. The freshly cut stumps can be sprayed generously before the fresh cuts can begin to seal up. Then, use tools to scrape away soil around the crown to expose roots coming out of the crown. Pry up roots to break them from the crown & spray any exposed roots & saturate the ground around the root ball. Then, observe the effectiveness of the vinegar. Within a few days, you may see new growth emerge. Just cut any sprouts off at the base & spray on the newly cut surfaces. Continue cutting back any new growth you don't want, & then spray fresh cut openings, even if it takes months.
I have a tree of heaven (someone planted it years ago, not my choice). I fight with it every year, and pull sooo many saplings. I also learned the adult trees sap smells like poop after trimming some low hanging branches. it's pretty, and I love that it provides shade, but I hate fighting with it every summer.

#Justin #Question? Do you all because you all live on farm do your own growing etc… Do you do regular parasite cleanse on family? And do you do top up of vitamins B,D zinc ? Or do you do blood work checks at Doc to see if all is ok that way with kids? I’ve started going to my doc to keep eye on such things , so if something goes off we can see in bloodwork if something went low. Thanks I watch all your fab shows and ideas . I wish I can get a man and few willing family to help me with my road to homesteading!!!
I have japanese knot weed as well and the thing is you have to keep it cut down, and it will die. I Had several thousands of plants and I am still after about 3/4 done with it. I keep cutting it down and eventually it will die
Tree of heaven has a nrw invasive insect that prefers that plant. So very good to get rid of it. I can't remember the name but will look it up and iodate here.
Good morning. Happy Father's 😊Becca! I love the reality of your every day life. "I was just going to fart around." That plant sounds brutal 😳 mothers wart is my trial evasive plant. It's all over parts of my yard. I have placed tarps in several places. Justin what do you think about replacing the Japanese not weed with comfrey? Once comfrey is there it has so many benefits it outweighs that once there it's always there😉
citric acid powder for baking, 50 cents worth or lemon juice will lower pH in root zone and make minerals impossible for plants if poured on their roots only
That not weed has a vine under ground u can not kill it completely unless u get the vines out of the ground I have it in my garden and omgoodness I'm out ever other day keeping it pulled up don't have money or land to plant anywhere else or rent a piece of equipment to get the vines from underground

Permaculture solution to the algee is to add some fish like Tilapia and then fish them out later and eat em.

Tilapia I heard can have problems? Or is it from farm fishing?

Vinegar is a good starting point. I have a 75% strength and it pealed my skin. So, Vinegar, soap and salt with the heat will work as well.
Just keep Justin.. Rebecca keep the perna homestead healing Happy Father's day ❤️❤️

or 50 cents of citric acid powder in 2 gallons of rain water.... bam, plant be gone
Salz was man gegen Schnee auf die Straße streut soll auch helfen.
Pigs and chickens do that job happily too
Knotweed is edible..especially the pods,one way to stop it spreading
Piglet squeals are kinda like fingernails on chalkboards....perfect defense - predator drops them quickly to shut them up. >.
At first it’s cute but more than a minute it does get annoying. Newborn piglets are cute though . 🥹
I laughed when you said 'And the pigs are now trained' 😂 I absolutely agreed
The boiling water will work but you need more and you have to do it every day for a week or two.
Agree, that's a piddly amount of water. Think a huge pot that you boil a dozen ears of sweet corn in.
Justin says Becky is ready for some action. There she stands with overhauls. LOL. You know you have been married for a long time when...
Natalie would follow me anywhere for a piece of bread.
There is a specific window of time that you should go after knotweed.
Yes, here in Canada, there is a process, but it works.
I've got an entire pasture of those tree of Heaven. one of the few plants my sheep won't eat. hoping if I keep bush hogging them off they'll go away?
Educational excellent!!!!🎉😂❤

Hello fraimly. Happy Father's Day. Much love to y'all 👍👊🤞💪💜🇺🇲🙏
With those unsafe stunts on the bike , here comes another broken bone soon
Reading about knot weed. It will grow and destroy foundation’s
Airrator/Bubbler pump for the pond - alge will not grow - water clear
Vinegar won't kill the knotweed, it will just burn the leaves. This thing springs back even if you dig the ground 3 feet down.
Vinegar doesn't kill any weed for good, it might die back, but it never kills the root!

On a plus side LOL Knotweed is used to treat Lyme, very high in resveratrol
That Knot weed is edible, The shoots and leaves are edible. Its comparable to Rhubarb in flavor, shoots you can cook and eat as a veggie.
Ok but invasive plants means your soil is in needs of nutrients that it provides.
