How to kill morning glory?
If you are talking about bindweed, the white flowered weed, then it is very difficult to kill. If you pull it out and keep pulling it out when you see it growing back it could take years to get rid of. You can use Roundup and that will kill some of it, but some will probably grow back. Of course, if you let it grow it will take over, so keep at it and good luck. If you are talking about Morning Glory, the pretty blue and sometimes other colored vine, it can be pulled up and will go away if there are no more seeds in the soil.

Reply:Burn it, possibly, but not if its on your house or other property,


or dig it up.





Not knowing if the vine is on your lawn, but if your lawn was nourished better, the lawn would choke it out.





Particular herbicides as well.

took me 3 years before they stopped returning
Reply:The wild version of morning glory, bind weed, is very hard to get rid of. The plant will keep growing as long as there are pieces of it in the soil. The best way to eliminate it is to use Killex, a broad leaf weed killer. Unfortunately this will kill anything that it gets on, except grass. One suggestion is to move all the plants from the infested garden before treating the weed with weed killer. If that is too daunting a task, putting sticks in the ground close to the center of each morning glory plant, encouraging the plants to climb away from the other plants and carefully painting or swabbing the morning glory leaves can be effective. Diligence is the key. All plant matter, including roots, needs to be removed and destroyed or new plants will grow. Good Luck.
Reply:Lots of Round Up
Reply:And speaking of chemicals, make sure you hang on to the seeds.....
Reply:Your best bet is to move. Morning glories are one of the hardiest plants imaginable. Odds are, you will never rid your yard of them. Sorry for the bad news.
