We had planned on planting a Wisteria vine next to our vegetable garden fence so that it can climb along the fencing.... is this advisable? We live way north(zone 3)so I don't think that the Wisteria can get too out of control. But there is a possibility that the roots of the Wisteria could get rota tilled under in the spring. How much room will the roots roam?
Zone 3 and Wisteria is no easy task! Kentucky Wisteria is not as invasive as other varieties.

is there a variety of wisteria that will bloom in lower light. My spot gets bright indirect and begs to have a wisteria hanging over an arched entryway. If not a wisteria, any suggestion for that spot that is vining and will drape over an arch, preferably blooming? Thx.
No, Wisteria will need full sun location, 6 plus hours of sun.

Please can you tell me is Wisteria poisonous to dogs, I been wanting to get one for ages but I am now worried about my dog.
Should i cut original plant back to ground level? If so when should I do it.
This can indicate that it is in need of restorative pruning if it is over a few decades old. If it is still under a decade old, then you may be looking at a different issue.
Prune anything that is completely dead, for sure. If you can include photos, and a description of how it is cared for, and fed, then I can be of more assistance with this issue.
For now, this article will help you to care for these plants: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/wisteria/growing-wisteria-proper-wisteria-vine-care.htm
Want to grow some Wisteria in my backyard. Will the deers eat them. Also will wild turkeys eat them
Wisteria is usually considered moderately deer resistant, but that certainly does not mean deer proof. You know what they can do when they are hungry during drought periods. I'm not sure about turkeys.
Young plants will be most vulnerable. It would be prudent to protect then with a six foot high wire fencing. When they are up and over that height onto an overhead trellis they should be okay. Unless the turkeys decide to fly up and roost there and feed on the developing flower buds. I haven't seen any reports on that, but it may be a possibility.
Our wisteria forms large been seed pods. We need to know is these pods should be removed when they form or if they should be left on the plant? Thank You in advance for an answer.
There is no need to remove the seed pods as far as plant health is concerned. There may be some draw on water and nutritional resources for seed development, but that should not be significant if the plant is healthy, well watered and fertilized. They can be removed if you wish, for aesthetic or nuisance reasons.
I just put a hot tub on my back porch, theres only about 18 inches behind it,as you imagine the wisteria grows fast and wild. is there anything i paint on bases ( about 24inches up) to prevent shoots from sprouting up,and out.
There are plant growth regulators that can be used to reduce vigorous, long vertical vegetative growth and divert energies to root development. But I've never heard of them being painted on wisteria stems to suppress sprouting.
I suggest that you just adopt a weekly management task of rubbing off (pinching/breaking/pruning) the new tender sprouts that appear, before they develop into woody stems.
