I've got a small infestation of Colorado Kudzu. I think it was introduced via a woodchipper some tree guys used to chip branches on our place. Regardless of the source, it grows well everywhere the wood chips were spread.
Last year I knocked it down with Roundup, but it came back with a vengeance this summer. This time it's all-out war. Following the advice of the aggies at Colorado State, I've been hitting it every week with Weed-B-Gone Crabgrass Control (2,4-D + quinclorac). Each week the new shoots are fewer and further apart. Interestingly, all the new growth is at the periphery of the patch, so I think the herbicide is doing its job and killing the main roots of the patch.
The edge of the patch is within ten feet of the neighbor's fence. His side of the fence hasn't been cleared in fifty years, so if the bindweed makes it to the fence the battle is lost.
Any thoughts about how to deal with this charming ornamental?

At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
