Mile-a-Minute

16 years ago

Part of my property (4 acres) has been left to grow wild, wild raspberries, wildflowers, etc. Last summer I discovered that the lot was quickly being overtaken by a weed identified as "Mile-a-Minute". It was growing over and killing everything under it. What can be done to control this weed, short of burning the entire lot off?

Thank you for that Link, although it might take a lot of Roundup to do the job. So far, burning is still leading the list of controls.
