Japanese Knotweed

Hey all,

There's a lot of Japanese Knotweed where I live. It's an invasive species and very abundant in the USA. Just wanted to know if it is safe to use as roach gutload. It's an edible plant. I'll use other foods such as roach chow, but I want to know if it is a safe plant to use. I don't want harmful substances building it in my roaches then feeding it to my cham. Clearly I would be getting it where there are no pesticides.

Thanks!

Does anyone know anything about Japanese Knotweed?

I don't have a clue, but call a local nursery or horticulture place and talk to them. Sorry I am no help.
