Answer 1

the vine is easily identified in early summer as it has a T shaped first true leaf formation with the finely cut leaves.. pull what you find then..... that will help.... second, pull the vines you have BEFORE they set seeds, cuz those seeds will scatter everywhere as you remove old vines...... I put down an old sheet around where I'm removing my old vines to help contain the seeds and gather them to send to friend who ask for them.......... I'm sorry you don't like them, they're much loved around here.... the hummingbirds count on them as a source of nectar ....

Answer 2

Do a google search for a flame thrower plant killer. I just heard about it on a really good garden show called You Bet Your Garden. It would only kill what you want without all the poison.

Answer 3

If the leaves appear as if a spade on a taking part in card that may no longer chickweed, this is named Buckwheat and is going to be very frustrating to get rid of, because of the fact the roots bypass on continuously. they have a small white flower.

Answer 4

Use either roundup found at any hardware store or brush killer and spray on it. you'll have to spray several times to get it under control and kill it.
