Am currently clearing a long neglected garden that some bright spark released some russian vine in. Needless to say it's spread itself over quite an area in the past 15 years. I put the brushcutter over it to get it down to ground level, but obviously it's coming back with a vengance. Short of getting hold of some agent orange, can anybody suggest an effective way to eradicate the ..... stuff? (We're planning to live there afterwards, so preferably nothing radioactive!!!)

 

Cheers

Roundup worked for us. We pulled up as much as possible then sprayed off any regrowth. Only one application did for it

The story goes there's a tanker full of agent orange at the old stavely chemicals site where it was made. Apparently one sprung a leak so was sealed in a bunded warehouse and left.

Thats somewhat concerning

Ok, thanks for that guys! I'll try the agricultural strength roundup first before I return to the land of my father and start digging in every hill side.

 

It is a shame that they banned 245T, it was awesome, just because they Yanks sprayed it all over people and they (naturally) got sick.
