Charles have you tried TVC, total vegetation control?
never heard of it. if it will kill this dang bamboo/switch cane, ill try anything that i can buy over the counter without having that dang applicator license. heck, i harvested some old road base a good bit back, spread it out and even played 4" of crushed concrete over it and evidently i didn't get a few of the roots and the stuff is growing through concrete now. its only a couple stalks that i kill off ever now and then so its not so bad, but id like to get rid of the heavy stuff so i can put a fence up and keep it maintained. the dang county planted the stuff for wind breaks and errosion control, but its taken over some area where i want my fence to go up and i need to get it under control asap.
