I've got it on the very edge of my plot.
I've found that glyphosate will keep it under control if you spray it weekly. The council are supposed to be dealing with it (it comes in from adjoining land) There's laws about it - you're not allowed to put it into skips etc.
Blame some Victorian pillock for it.

From a quick google think it is....seems to be against the law to cultivate and grow it.
