There is a problem in my yard

[intheflow]

7. It is also everywhere in my yard.

Before I had a yard of my own, I thought it was very pretty, a wild morning glory climbing everywhere. Now it is the bane of my gardening existence!

I have read that you can exhaust the roots by pulling it up the second you see it, though it will probably take years to eradicate it. I have been doing this now for two years. Not having much luck at all in the vegetable garden, but my flower bed seemed to have less at the end of last summer. Maybe I was just a bit more obsessive with the flowers than the vegetable beds since I made the flower bed from scratch and the veggie beds are well-established. Anyway, I've avoided the vinegar route because I don't want to damage my other plants, and also, I find the vinegar works about as well as hand-pulling.

Good luck and let us know how you progress with your eradication project!
