Japanese Knotweed, Part 2

Lifehacker writes of an article by the Nature Conservancy on invasive plants and how to fight them. The article isn’t really that helpful; its suggestions for combating the spread of invasives include replacing invasives with “non-invasive alternatives” (Hmm, maybe native plants? But, first gotta remove the little devils, and how to do that?); volunteering at your local park to help remove invasives (you are welcome to come volunteer at the small park in my backyard, thanks in advance); and, best of all, donating to the Nature Conservancy!

I suppose my chosen method of ripping the beasts out root and all and applying a good dose of glyphosate (just follow the directions on the label) is a little too aggressive.
