How can I get rid of wild morning glory or is this an immposibility?

I am working on a garden of native plants. all are doing great but I also have wild morning glory that I weed out everyday to prevent it from strangling everybody else. Any way to get rid of it?

Not sure how much wild morning glory you currently have in your garden but... if it's among the plants you want to keep, you'll have to make a mixture of Roundup and water.... then use a narrow/thin paintbrush to apply this mix to the proper target and avoid killing your landscape plants. Make sure you apply as much of the herbicide solution to the leaves as you can to insure adequate wetting.



Here's another helpful hint; try mixing the Roundup and water WITH a foliar fertilizer (such as Miracle Gro). The Miracle Gro (fertilier) actually tricks the leaves (stomata) into accepting more of the solution than normal.



GOOD LUCK!

Reply:Follow these steps:



1. Pull all the large M.G. plants.

2. Squirt left over and new weeds with premixed Roundup spray. You can find this at any hardware store.

3. If you find that it is to difficult to spray the Roundup because other plants are to close use a piece of cardboard to protect other plants while you spray the weeds. Roundup can also be brushed on with a small paint brush.



In time you should be able to rid yourself of morning glory but it will take time, patients, and perseverance.
Reply:Roundup works best in these situations, spray it at the base.
Reply:When they die off you have to remove the vine and spray weed killer. Do this after everything else has died for the winter.
Reply:morning Glory's are one of Those plants just like ivy you have to kill them at the roots and make sure that the seeds remaining do not germinate you can try weed killers and digging them up but this may take several times they are not prone to grow in acidic soil try a weed killer that has less of a base ingredient listed first on the label. good luck
Reply:Morning glory roots can go as deep as 6 feet, We use a product in this state called Curtail, it is a broad leaf selective. I would call your local Soil extension Office, they will be able to tell you what is available and effective in your area. In Colorado it is one of the those weeds we all fight. The SOC will help you and give you all kinds of info, it is there job and they take weeds like morning glory( called bindweed here)

very seriously. You can not ever pull all the roots up you can stop it with the proper selective spray. There is also a mite that you Can get from the SCO that attacks and kills the bindweed. I have not used it but I hear it is very effective and environmentally friendly. You do have to battle it for a very long time the seeds can stay in the soil for many years.

Good luck

Reply:Your wild morning glory is probably what is called bind weed. It vines all over the place with a tiny white morning glory like flower and is very hard to get rid of. If you try to pull them up you only get a very small piece and the majority of the root is left underground to multiply. The best way to get rid of them is with round out, being very careful not to get it on your other plants. It will go to the root and kill the plant.
Reply:Roundup!
Reply:I had this problem too....it was actually killing the tree it was climbing....I had to dig it up and then use root killer
Reply:Not only do the roots go deep (I've read up to ten feet), the seed can remain viable for several years. Try a combination of spraying with Roundup, then pulling a few days later. Don't even bother trying to get the roots when you pull, even if you just break them off, you will weaken the plant. You have to keep at it and if you live in a climate like we have here in Western Washington, you will probably never be completely rid of it.
