Mile a Minute AAARRRRGGGHHH!!!

I spent ages a couple of months thinking I had dug it out however I have not it is now growing across towards my lawn. The area it is growing across is going to be dug up and turned into a patio so I'm not worried about the soil here so my question is will round up kill it off?

 

Oh you poor thing! No idea about roundup, but it must be worth a shot?

 

Damn stuff it isn't what I want as I want to be able to see all the plants I have Bought and grown and I know it will take over as soon as it finds my clematis trellis' gggrrr

 

Ooooo and thought I also ought to ask does it just kill what it touches as it isn't my plant I have just been up and looked and its coming through from the neighbours so will it kill the whole thing ?

 

I think it does kill the whole thing. But, I promise not to tell your neighbour

 

I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would want it ? and thanx muchly I'll plead ignorant haha

 

Just a thought: if you were digging it out from your side, is it possible that it originated in your garden and a bit grew in your neighbours?

 

When I say digging it up thats not strictly true I was yanking and pulling, cutting and digging lol and found some roots. So it could just be there from lord knows when and not belong to either of us. I do however know that I shall be removing it again before it hits my lawn. It will be easier to stay on top of when the patio is in.

 

I wish whoever had planted this on had researched it GGGRRRRR silly person.
I applied the first lot today so when should I apply more?

 

Okay I shall have to go back to a garden centre and get some. Assuming I can get it from a garden centre?

 

Sorry to argue Armandii, but Round-up is a systemic weedkiller.
