Need to remove Vinca Myrtle vine

[fabfan]

Hi all,

After searching the internet I found this post about using Ornamec to remove the vines. http://www.backyardgardener.com/shru...sages/913.html

I ordered the Ornamec 170 and applied it twice, the second time about a week or two after the first time.

The vines are still thriving - any ideas on how to get rid of them, short of digging out each root? It's difficult to get to all of it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Fabfan,

You might want to try horticultural vinegar.

Probably much better for you and the environment too.
