How Do I Get Rid Of Invasive Grape Vine Plants

Question

I have grape vine plants that are invasive and want to remove them from the garden. They’re mixed in with desirable shrubs and plants so I don’t want to use an herbicide.

Answer 1

Without chemicals, diligence will be your only option. Cutting all new instances of the plant, and keeping them cut as they appear will kill them over a few years.

Let up a little in routine, and they will be back full force.

Chemical means can clear them of the area within a season if you carefully paint it onto the cut stems, avoiding other areas of the garden, and your skin and lungs.
