find contacts in local area. I did it years ago with intention of growing this invasive plant but felt it was gonna be too much work for me to control it. Thick plastic barrier and concrete about 24" deep if remeber right. It is some neat stuff though if you have the land. Biggest Stand I've seen is on HWY 1526 right before Maplehurst Golf Course in Shepherdsville. The property owner may let you dig (or just cut) some, won't hurt to ask

I am going to grow some in the spring the ones I planted in the fall died because of the cold weather and not mature enough. I got mine from Conley Bottom of Lake Cumberland as you go in they have a bunch growing in the woods. Mine is nothing more than for looks because my wife is Taiwanese, so you are welcome to it when it grows if you need any and cant find it. Like others mentioned not good if you have neighbors close by it can take over in a hurry. Also not good if you have kids because if you cut it down with lawn mower as it grows in to the grass you have very sharp shoots sticking out of the grownd every where.
