To eliminate Chameleon plant (Houttuynia cordata 'Chameleon') spray on a day over 65 degrees, when the sun is shining and no rain is expected overnight, using the concentrated form of Ortho's Poison Ivy Killer. Do not get any spray on any desirable plant! It works. I fought the fight with that horror for 8 years and every now and then I do find a piece, spray it thoroughly, and it dies.

P.S. I like to mow, I find it relaxing. Course I have a riding mower with a beer holder, so...

Me too.... Song of Joy, can you post your signature? It's cut off and I can't read the last bit of it. It sounds great.

If you can't read all of a sig block, try zooming in, and then out, and see if more of it comes up at different zooms. I usually can't see more than three lines.

When I used Internet Explorer, many odd and unpredictable things happened on many web sites.

Just because it ISN'T complicated doesn't mean I can't MAKE it complicated!

Trumpet vine: cut back to a foot high, let some leaves emerge and then spray with the concentrate Ortho Poison Ivy Killer. Please be careful and don't allow any drift get onto anything you cherish. Putting cardboard all around while you spray and then leaving it there for an hour will help protect your good plants.

I've done it with two trumpet vines in 2013.

That's completely different!!!

Still noisy and gassy though.
The mower, not you after the beer.....

I think they both might be gassy!

If I have to use RU or something I like to dab it on the leaves with a sponge brush. Don't forget your gloves sweetie!

NOPE! Its been sprayed with various poisons for two years AND dug up over and over. New shoots still came up this year. Some four feet away! And I am positive they will continue to come up next year. When I finally get two years with no shoots I will plant perennials there. But for now just annuals in that area.

My friend told me about putting on a rubber glove and then a cloth glove over that. Dip fingers into poison and stroke the leaves. Have not tried it yet.
