Any landscapers or green thumbs here?

[Queen Macoomeh]

I am doing battle with the parasitic English Vine. It seems to want to take over my little fowlcoob.

Any suggestions? (Other than prayers and discussions with the plant)

[WestCoast]

you ever use Round Up?
use it carefully as it kills everything

[Queen Macoomeh]

No, this is not simply a weed and the land is heavily forested so I don't want that in my yard. I want a specific remedy.
Advice and practical help. I've already done the google thing.

[WestCoast]

eh eh I have used Round up
i ent just google that
and yes it does KILL everything

[Queen Macoomeh]

I've got dogword, tulips and other ground cover all over. I don't want that damaged.

..your google skills preceed you..lol

[WestCoast]

and when I dont want to kill everything I have used a small paint brush to apply the Round Up to the leaves of the weed.

this isn't a plant, or even a tree. The vine is a parasite, not native to North America, that has been allowed to grow without being checked or cut back for years.

It has ckoked off three 50 foot maple trees that will need to come down. It was beginning to grow onto the house but we've got that pulled back. It has taken over a large section of yard as ground cover.

a paintbrush isn't practical...

Have the guy coming again this evening. Was hoping to get some advice from someone other than a paid consultant. You know how that goes.
Had a tree guy in already and it will cost us a college fund to remove those 3 trees, even if we leave the stumps. But...no one send and call me, so ah banning meh jaw.

The boardies in Europe will know this vine, they allow it to grow there, but I think the trees and houses are made differently and can stand up to this vine.

<stares at WC>

so ya get any advice yet Queen or ya still waiting on dese people in here ?

[Queen Macoomeh]

lol I not waiting on the board...lol

called the landscaper guy again and he made some suggestions. I want to work with him not sit back and watch. I have to learn to be a hands on kinda girl and that is a feat for me who never got her nails broken or hands dirty.
Being royalty has it's drawbacks. 

Phone just ring again, another manager offering apologies. I told him I don't want apologies, I want my furniture.

I did walk in last week and chose the largest person behind the desk. They had told me it would be here last Friday.

If it wasn't for the fact that we really like these pieces I would cancel y'know...and go by WC's furniture store and get the cokyea furnitures wid de posey vase.

actually, you're close..it is almost at that stage. Can't tell if this is the same vine I have here though. But it done teef my 3 trees. I want to remove it before it injures more. Strong little bugger.

I might use the tnt in troot but the neighbours frown on explosions.. 

[WestCoast]

Miss Rooks Lady, I gorn dis time
