Popular Post Further Posted July 6, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted July 6, 2020 Vines, they grow like wildfire because they don't need a backbone. Just latch on to something sturdy and sprint to the sunlight. Choke the poor bastard that is holding the weight. There are two hemlock trees at the edge of my yard, I think they are on the neighbors property, but the actual property line is kind of vague. Anyway, the hemlocks are part of my world, and I noticed that they were getting covered by vines, not sure what, I don't think kudzo, maybe wild grape, whatever it is it is definitely starting to choke the hemlocks. So me and my loppers payed a visit today, chopped chunks out of all the vines I found, and there were a lot of them, and thick, well over an inch. Tonight I noticed the leaves were already beginning to curl. Long live the hemlocks 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikeguy Posted July 6, 2020 Share #4 Posted July 6, 2020 Of course I want poison ivy dead. It just seems like you can be cutting out one plant and miss the ones you are standing in etc.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted July 6, 2020 Share #5 Posted July 6, 2020 I am battling those suckers too. The problem is lopping them off just spurs a ton of growth from the root. And Virginia creeper is eville! That shit is really hardy around here and I have removed a ton with another ton still to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
