Ugh. Vines.

My upper body is toasted. Got in two days of hard mtn biking and still had the energy to beat back some Vines. I made a quick trip to the hardware store. Even the crappy corded hedgers felt “not worth the $”. A black and decker was $70.

The lawn guy down the street must be making good money; he didn’t even want to come and take a look.

Screw it. Dug out “old school”.

Haha. I could not even hold a beer yesterday.

Me versus Potato vines: winner? To close to call.

So the new bamboo.

I bet a genetic hybrid potato-bamboo vine would look good in your back yard.

my wife and i joke that it would be a simple task of choosing a meaningful tattoo for myself. it would just have to be an invasive plant motif. "to remind myself to calm the eff down about things"

I have them bad in my yard, up 75ft trees.

I cut them at the bottom then tie them to truck and start pulling.

You can also put a blade on your trimmer that will cut through those pretty easily.

I use a machete for such things... I can't help you on digging up the roots.

Salt or a good herbicide might work but could be problematic if you want to grow something it the same place further down the road.

I'm a little sore myself, had carpet installed in the living room by my neighbor and I was his 'helper' (helped pull up the old stuff, vacuum, staple down the new padding, and shag tools) he did 80% of the work but I'm still sore.
