Thanks for sharing your technique! I work to remove as much of the offending vines as fast as possible. Hedge trimmer to cut it all down to size, works for the thin green and variable grey/brown vines. Chop them to pieces, let nature degrade the remains. That clears out the area fast and well. Locate the base of any larger vines, use a RYOBI ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Cordless Compact One-Handed Reciprocating Saw to cut such vines off of trees. Pull up as much as able to expose secondary roots, kick with boots or pull like Popeye! Tree saved. Check back for any regrowth in a couple years. I use a hand spray bottle with undiluted herbicide, no time for paint brushes, no carrying bulky sprayers, as there are many trees to save, and little time!

Great video! I’ve been doing this for many years and it really works well. A little trick I learned along the way is get yourself some copper roofing nails to further enhance the chemical process. Works wonders on most stumps. They must be copper. I’ve tried HD and galvanized nails, but the copper seems to set off the strongest reaction. After you cut the trunk down low ( 3-4” off the ground max), drill some small holes (4-6) into the fresh cut. Go in a few inches (2-3” or so). A little deeper is even better on bigger stumps. The bigger the stump, the deeper you drill, and the more liquid you use. A few more holes helps too. The cut should be as flat as possible. Not angled. After you drill the holes, immediately paint the stump with Roundup or any good herbicide that has Glyphosate in it… at least 40%, which means the undiluted stuff, full strength. I carefully pour a tiny bit right into each hole too. We’re talking about 1/4” +/- diameter holes. An eye dropper works well for this. Let it soak in well for a minute or two, being careful to avoid runoff if it’s near any plants you want to keep. Immediately after you apply the liquid, hammer a copper nail down into each hole, full depth. If the hole is slightly wider, angle the nail in slightly so it grabs and holds. Nails should about 1”-1.25” long. The head of the nail should contact the top of the cut stump or break the surface slightly. Wear gloves and don’t spill the herbicide on anything else! The stump will usually die after a while. Certain plants may need a repeat dose. If the tree/bush has a tendency to send out suckers, do the same thing to each surface sprout when the stalk is at least 1” thick. Same procedure…. Cut, drill, paint, and nail. Works like a charm. 👍🏼 I’m sharing because some one shared this with me many years ago. I’ve been gardening for 60 years. That’s what gardening really is about. Sharing. ✌️

I’ve seen the copper nails on Amazon, so you shouldn’t need Indiana Jones to find them. 😉 And I used a picnic-type ketchup bottle to apply the Ortho. Plenty Ortho contained in a bottle with a narrow, long tip to dispense well away from you! 🤜🏼🤛🏼👍🏼 Hope the blood, sweat, and tears (yes….all three for a solid month) will pay off in the spring.

I'm curious how come you didn't use the same method you used on the grape vine, on the vine you showed us first? I'm garden dumb but it seems like a waste of round up (plus it kills bees), to spray a bunch of weeds on a tarp that would surely die if cut off from their main source? Sorry if I'm ignorant. I am but I'm learning as I go. Lol! Thank you for the video!
@lucyswannsunsafespace73132 жыл бұрын
The vines will die, sure, but wrapped around that tree like it was, it would damage the tree too. Best to pull it off the tree and spread like he did so the roundup stays off the lawn and the root slowly sucks it up. Cutting them alone doesn’t work because they come right back and spring up in 5 more spots. The root sucks in the moisture of the round up like a drink of water, and slowly dies, killing off any possible regrowth elsewhere. These types of vines need tricking that’s it’s just a normal day, they were just disturbed a bit. You cut them, they become aggressive and grow replacements 3x faster. You cut them then paint the stem, you’ll have 3-4 sprouts of new growth before the round up fully kills it. But you’re right, it takes the patience of a saint to wait. I’ve not yet had the patience to do this. I just rip them out the ground, throw them in burn pit and on to the next one. I’ve never managed to “rid” my yard of them this way, and I know why, I’m just impatient and hate the look lol. Angry landscaping leads to poor choices. Like shooting your problem brush 😂

I do face some real challenges though, like having very little time (I work 50+ hours per week and have an hour and a half commute time.) and knowing next to nothing about computers and the internet. I'm learning it all by myself through research, trial and error. Just like I did with cars, so many years ago. It's a slow process for me. Someday, I hope to make enough money doing this, that I could pay for health insurance. Then, I could make enough money just doing repair work at home, that I could devote full time to this channel. Probably never happen, but it's something to shoot for. Thanks for watching and commenting.

The vine you could not name at the end was probably the Kutdzu vine brought to the US from Asia years ago. It is a very invasive Vine that will kill other trees and grows the rapidly. My yard was overtaken by it. We thought it was wild wisteria but after watching several videos it appears to be the k u t d z u Vine. I also had to cut them and got two goats to help me get my yard back. After a major hurricane hit the vines that were already there really took over where I could not use about 50% of our yard from overgrowth and underbrush due to dense Vines in the wooded areas. Now we could walk through the overall majority of the yard and the goats are eating up the rest. Roundup is a direct cause of cancer so we will avoid using it. I thought you were going to paint the vine stumps with regular paint.
@lillieknight Жыл бұрын
Thank you! The rain lately has made the kudzu grow faster around here. I do worry about you handling that roundup though but I imagine any other strong herbicide would be just as bad. So far I’m just pulling up the rope like roots as far as they will go but I don’t think that’s killing the plant off.

Does the season or growing cycle (dormancy, growing, flowering) of the vine make a difference on how effective these treatments are? I heard it’s futile to do in spring, but if done in fall...the leaves send their energy (with the poison) to their roots much better...unfortunately I’m more motivated when I can clearly see them growing in early spring when everything else is still dormant.

Round up will kill any green plant. That is why it is called a "non-selective" herbicide. It's just a matter of using the correct mixture and applying it properly. You are on the right track when you mention buying Round-up concentrate. Even though it is less convenient than "Ready to use" roundup, you can make a higher potency mix than the ready to use Round up. Just make sure you: 1) Read the directions 2) Wear the proper personal protective equipment. (Gloves, goggles, etc.) 3) Follow all other applicable safety rules. Thanks for watching and commenting.
