Now, for those of you saying it's no big deal, think about having to get dressed with all the safety gear necessary to work with such a scary looking machine just to save the rest of your yard and your buildings from being overrun by this stuff. If you enjoy doing this sort of thing for hours a day to clear an area, or on a daily basis to keep it from coming back, then plant away!

I hope this machine might help me cut off the dozens of stalks poking up from the ground that poke my dogs when they run back there chasing wildlife. Then I'd only have to deal with the round base and all the roots that are left behind.

I wouldn't have not purchased my house, but I would have asked for about $20K to have it all removed and for follow up care as part of the sale. That's about what it will cost me once I've installed a barrier to prevent it from coming back into my yard from the neighbor's space, since they don't want to remove their part of the grove.

Whoever said it doesn't grow in the shade is totally wrong. Mine are in the shade of five mature oak trees and they grow like crazy. I've read that they don't grow in swampy land, but my yard is very dry and on top of a hill, so I can't really create a swamp to kill it off.
