Hi there, I am new to this site. Planning on setting up our own smallholding in the near future. Thinking of keeping British Saddleback Pigs, Goats, Chickens and Ducks. Any advice greatly appreaciated  We are going to erect a 17m x 10m Romney Shed to house the pigs and goats. We have a lot of himalayan balsam on our land as we haven't cleared the land or anything for nearly 5 years as we were renovating the farmhouse.

Hello and welcome from Devon. I was told that H B. could be eradicated with heavily strimming!

Yep, ours has completely gone. Strim before the seeds fly off and you should be ok.
