Our school also owns a piece of land that is covered with the Japaneese Knotweed. Unlike our future garden spot, we can't send the junior classicists( also known as the lower school girls) out with a shovel and spade. Why not? The problem is that the land is a very steep hill, and we are concerned that they would accidently fall down. Now THAT wouldn't be good...
If you have any ideas of how we can rid ourselves of this troublesome plant please write a comment! Come'on latinittes, I'm counting on you!
