" The best way I found out to get rid of weeds is buy roundup that you
have to mix with water and put in your own sprayer. But I mix it stronger
than it calls for and you will get rid of your weekds very quickly.
But not all weeds can be killed with roundup. I use it regularly but
one weed (a pesky, climbing vine thing) seems to be impervious to it.

Try boiling water on the roots - does work on poison ivy like a charm. Needs
to be done 2-4 times and you have to get the whole base of the plant.
My plants have no base. They spread underground and pop up
everywhere. Pulling them by hand is only a temporary measure as you
cannot get the entire root. Very, very invasive. I do not have a
solution yet.
