Gardening is supposed to be a relaxing hobby. With the clocks going forward one hour to mark the official start of British Summer Time, green-fingered types will look forward to pottering around the garden on longer, sunnier days.
However, gardening can be challenging - especially if a garden is afflicted with pests, overgrown bushes and weeds. One such stubborn specimen is Japanese knotweed.
This is very difficult to get rid of; the government website lists very specific instructions for its removal. For example, it is recommended that you do not try to treat knotweed yourself unless you have the appropriate skills and experience.
