Last but not nearly least is regarding the Akebia quinata in my yard. It has taken over...literally taken over half the yard. My HOA and I have repeated discussions
regarding my 'vines' going over my fence (townhouse) despite the rear of my townhouse backing to woods and my neighbors on either side not really caring. As many of you know...I detest using chemicals. This anaconda-like vine grows all around my plants that are back there specifically for the hummers, butterflies and the other birds...I truly don't want to spray anything that will hurt them. Is there anything natural that can annihilate this vine?
