re: Best way to get rid of vines

Is it bushkiller?



Very hard to kill. Grows and expands via underground runners, 2-3 inches underground. Pull the vine and it just pops off and re-sprouts again from the runners.


Best way I've found to knock it back is to:
-- let it get a couple of feet long,
-- pull it off the bushes or plants but don't pull it out of the ground,
-- roll or bunch it up,
-- lay it back on the ground; if it is on grass or something else put plastic sheeting underneath it
-- spray the heck out of the leaves and vine with Round-Up, and let it sit for several days, enough to get the herbicide into the plant's vascular system and down into the runners,
-- pull the dead vine out and get as much of the runner system out of the ground as you can.
