Not completely useless Dean. I once watched a tv programme
when someone was interviewed who had many times tried to
eradicate it, without success (weedkiller didn't work). The
only thing he could do with it that was useful was to cook
it! I can't remember the recipe now, but I think it was
something sweet, possibly cooking it like rhubarb.
There's lots of it growing round here. It's a big problem.
