[CANUFNET] Seeking help to find a root barrier material

[Michael Richardson]

Attached is one possibility

I believe they need to line the entire pit, not just a barrier along the
edges..

I suggest chemical treatment of the plants prior to removal of the soil. 
I have successfully used Roundup Transorb and Clearview with Gateway.

Japanese Knotweed is an incredibly tough plant and is almost impossible to
control without chemicals.
