lavender Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Dogg, what you have isn't a garden morning glory; it is called bindweed. You must get every last piece of the root out to get rid of it. The roots break into pieces when you plow or dig and each piece makes a new plant. It is a real pain to get rid of. Round-up will kill it but you have to be persistent. Anything you use must be done several times. If you keep burning it off or cutting it you will eventually kill it but remember if pieces of root break off you are going to have a new plant to deal with. If you can tarp the area the roots will eventually die especially if you use a dark tarp and the soil heats up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old3dogg Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 They are so pretty - I just planted one - hope mine takes off like yours. They are cool if you can control them. Mine use to hang on my outside lamp. It looked good. Now it hangs all over everything and kills the other flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
