I bought a property a year ago in NW Oregon and have been designing and creating my food forest on my 1/4 acre lot and did not put any thought into what was growing in the undeveloped lot boarding the entire backside of my property until the other day. I knew there was blackberry and am very familiar with having to cut it back from neighboring properties, but I noticed that there is also a massive thicket of Japanese knotweed fighting it out with the blackberry right up up against my fence and now I’m concerned about it aggressively growing under the fence and strangling everything I have planted along the fence. Looking for recommendations on how to be deal with this. I am not sure exactly who owns the lot of land or how to start trying to track that information down.

I submit myself to judgement – for I have opened my mind to the whispers of Chaos not once but twice. Twice have I given berth to Slaaneshi champions- both from the family Lamiaceae.

Spring is now upon us and they both waken on my hugelmound, hungry for sustenance and land to call their own. I am both awed and terrified of the powers I have unleashed – yet hopeful that they may perhaps battle each other rather than the innocent citizens of Terra.

How do you all avoid blocking your sprayers when using liquid fertilizer made from weeds? Or maybe more correctly, how do you properly strain it so it doesn’t have plant matter residue? I have ruined so many sprayers over the years, it’s getting ridiculous. Thanks!

This will not let water through when I set it to. There is a click when I open it and close it. Please help. P.S. enjoy the free feet pics as payment.

We got electric installed at the land… and they had to bore under the creek to do. It. The machines tore apart our creek bank. Are there any approaches I can consider apart from just bring more dirt in on top? Seems like not much was displaced, just compacted.
