| How can I rid myself of those nasty ole sticker-briars that are forever invading my flower beds?? |
| I am not sure what you mean by sticker briers unless they are wild blackberry or dewberry vines. I have the same problem with wild blackberry vines growing in my azaleas. I have to keep fighting them. These pest come up from roots. In digging them out, if you don't get all the root, they will come back again. If you can protect your good plants by covering them and concentrating the spray onto the vines, the herbicide Round-up will kill them. If you decide to try this, be sure to wait until the Round-up dries before removing the cover. The reason for this is so that the Round-up will not drip from the cover and get onto the plants you want to save. Always read and follow label instructions. I am afraid touse Round-up on the vines that come up in my azaleas. I keep pulling the vines out and hoping a lack of sunlight will get them. If you do this, be sure to wear gloves to protect your hands. from the stickers. |
