Got rid of crepe Myrtle and roots.

Question

Got rid of crepe, pulled out roots- no stump was there. Getting suckers. If I put table salt or vinegar and cover with black plastic, will that stop suckers from growing?

Answer 1

Salt should work, but you won't be able to replant in the area for quite a while. An herbicide might be your best bet. Be sure to follow label instructions.
