Any advice?
I read an article in the paper (either the Guardian or the Observer) about a week ago about a possible natural control - an insect of some sort - being introduced for Japweed. Unfortunately, the paper has been recycled, and I can't find the article on their website. It seems there's a light at the end of the tunnel though, and not before time.
