Does anyone know how to get rid of morning glory?

I have a large garden and it is being overrun by morning glory. When I put the garden in I was healthy but since then I have developed fibromyalgia. I am limited in what I can now do. Last summer, I didn't do much and in back of our fence there is a green space that has morning glory and blackberries bushes. Because I didn't cut them back as I usually did they have encroached on the yard, both the morning glory and the blackberries grew through the fence and rooted where they touched the ground. So really I need help with both of these problem plants. Did I mention the ivy that is also finding its way into my garden?

All 3 of your problems can be eliminated by using "Brush-B-Gone" or "Brush Killer"...which contains the active ingredient called "TRICLOPYR". It is a selective herbicide that controls broadleaved plants without harming grassy types (including turf).





Triclopyr works very similar to Roundup by killing the roots after spraying the foliage. I've found it to do an excellent job on brush and vine species. When spraying, you should make sure not to spray when the temperatures exceed 80 degrees and to avoid any sprays to get onto ornamental plants and vegetables.





To achieve better results, try mixing a tablespoon of dishsoap into your sprayer AFTER mixing the Triclopyr and water. The dishsoap helps allow more of the mixture to stay on the leaves and the herbicide to move into the plants.





You should begin to see the morning glory, blackberries and ivy turning yellow/wilting 7 days after application.





I wish you the best in your battle against fibromyalgia.





Hope this information helps the problem in your backyard.

Reply:I assume that you are talking about Convolvulus..it is a really nasty weed that only appears in cultivation. It is unknown in the wild. I'm also guessing that maybe you live somewhere near the Pacific Northwest?.. morning glory and ivy and blackberries(himalayan?) are all difficult to control without using chemicals...With your fibromyalgia that may be your only option. good luck.
Reply:Pull the whole thing out. If you cannot. Then use bleach. Water the plant with bleach and it will be dead the following day.
Reply:yikes.... do you have anything in the garden that you want to keep? anything that will come back next year.. my suggestion is repot or replant everything that you want and then spray weed remover and dig all the dirt up destroying all roots... pull everything you want out and then till the whole area.. next year start over.. hopefully you will have gotten rid of everything you dont want.... i have to replant my morning glories every year :( if you dont want to get rid of them try adding more things for the morning glories to climb up on good luck!
