Roundup has worked fine for me. The plants take about a week to die,

Hi Tim,

Yes. The Roundup weed killer works.

I buy this concentrate for about $100

The problem with Roundup isn't that it doesn't work.

The problem is getting to the plant, which fortresses itself with 10 to
20 feet of vines, such that I can't get the roundup to the leaves.

cut the vines where you can reach and paint the cut surfaces with roundup.
