    It looks like the same Knotweed. Does anyone know first-hand how the =
project to control this in Cape Breton by injecting herbicides, one =
stalk at a time, turned out ? Contrary to rumors, it is readily =
controlled by mowing, e.g. with a hand scythe or anything else that will =
deplete the rhizomes of reserves. =20
