Morning Glory with Purple Flowers
 

ugg this is taking over. what is the best way to kill it, I have tried
several methods. Have pets so a natural method would be good. It grows
on everything, sheds, fences, trees, high trees, everything.

This stuff is right up there with cockroaches for being indestructable.
I've glypho-ed it with super strength spray, and the damn stuff still comes
back.

Mine was an invader from over the fence, it gets no water, lots of nasty
chemicals, but still it grows (albeit slowly)

Good Luck

Can you pull the roots?

Alternatively, film cannister with zero/roundup in it, cut stem and
stick deep into film canister. Best on warm day. Move onto any fresh
stem.

I don't like spraying because of wind drift.

You can also scratch the stems with a knife and paint zero/roundup on
the scratch.

G'day teedy,
Lovely stuff, and you can still buy the seed at the
nursery. My place was covered with it when I moved in and seed is always
trying to come up. I cut of the vines as low as possible and then glypho any
regrowth. That gets rid of the existing plants, but not all the seed in the
ground. You just have to keep killing all seedlings before they flower and
slowly you will get on top of things. With a bit of practice it becomes easy
to recognise the seedlings at the 2 leaf stage, when they are easy to pull \
cut \ glypho.
