I tried a few different approaches: Yanking it out stalk by stalk was a sweaty, summer-long game of whack-a-mole- thankless full-time job. Then a friend and I spent one long night digging a 10-by-4-foot trench, lining it with black contractor bags, and refilling it with dirt. It looked like we were trying to bury something, and in a way we were: the knotweed rhizomes-the plant's creeping rootstalks-under our feet, searching for a ray of light.
