Move to OK - leave the vine to the new owners. One major hint, when you list, put your price "Net to Seller" in the contract. Get out of the property what you want, have buyer pay all the bullshit fees, etc. You may write me a small check after closing. :-) “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
Check is in the mail :) Can you help me locate former neighbor and a box of pit viper larvae? corruptissima re publica plurimae leges - Tacitus

Speaking of rain...... Can either of u tell me what this song is about w/o Googling? The phrase for the day is, "undocumented shoppers."

Dax - get below the Mason-Dixon line as quickly as you possibly can, please.

Prolly rain of bombs is my guess.

Wasn't exactly cheating, I had looked up "Who'll stop the rain"a few weeks ago, and "malaise" stuck with me. :) corruptissima re publica plurimae leges - Tacitus

It was written by John Fogerty right after CCR returned home from Woodstock where it rained 3 out of the 4 days. Woodstock isn't the only thing Fogerty was referencing, Dak is right about a general political malaise as is Lod with the Vietnam reference.

No clue what all CCR had in mind when they penned the song, but the grunts liked this message. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.

Can't we stoppit? For God's sake, please. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.

Forget it. I battled the stuff for twelve years. The only way I was able to escape the trumpet vines was to sell the place. Now only cultivate that which grows upon my sufferance! "If ignorance is truly bliss, then why do so many Americans need Prozac?" - Dave McGowan
Trumpet vine has convinced me that evil exists in the biblical sense. I have dug up mulberries, I have obliterated nightshades, I've had poison ivy for breakfast, but this crap has me beat.

I'd gladly kill a gook for this! (just kidding) corruptissima re publica plurimae leges - Tacitus
The trumpet vines were a particular nuisance as they grew between a neighbor's fence and mine which had been built to run along side on another for about 30 feet. I managed to kill them at the root (along with a lot of my neighbor's lawn) with gobs of glyphosphate, (Yeah, I know don't say it.) But then I noticed the trumpet vines poking up in other spots on the property. We did get hummingbirds from time to time, but not all that often. Hard to appreciate them they zoom around so fast. On the odd occasion that they showed up to drink from the trumpet blossoms, they usually scared the crap outta me shooting around like outsized hornets. A hummingbird so startled me once that I nearly chopped my peg leg in half with a chainsaw I was running. Ah, nature. "If ignorance is truly bliss, then why do so many Americans need Prozac?" - Dave McGowan
I had no idea what trumpet vines were until a neighbor planted them ten or twelve years ago. I started noticing suckers coming up in my yard a few years after that. Everywhere! Mexicans bought the house last year and cut all of it down, which I thought was great. No dice, they will sprout up 18-24 inches in a week! I've sprayed with Ortho Weed-B-Gone, Bayer, Round-Up, PoisonIvy/Vine Killer, and cat piss. I'm thinking TRIOX, but that will kill the grass, too.

Try putting down clear, heavy-duty plastic sheeting, very well sealed, to bake the roots in the summer heat; after mowing it all down to the ground, and pissing on it. Good luck. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.

Somehow, we've swerved away from the huge Hawaiian....but that's OK. There's lawn care needs to be met also. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
I probably wouldn't even mind the hassle of having to mow, but I read on real (not conspiracy) gardening sites that trumpet vines have baseball bat sized roots and will punch right through concrete.

At some point, it would be more fun to rent a backhoe and just dig myself a pool. corruptissima re publica plurimae leges - Tacitus

Nice, Loddy, but are you familiar with National Homes? I got no room for lambies and goaties! corruptissima re publica plurimae leges - Tacitus

Out west one seldom hears about the Mason-Dixon line. Out east the closer you get to it the more liberal prejudice there is toward those who live even close to it. I call it the nearline arrogance.

Try a combination of used motor oil and 2,4-D. Out west, you were still mexicon territory, yet to be conquered. What you call arrogance, many still call reality of the north/south division which has not ended to this day. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.

Resurrected a pair of Jehovah's Witnesses who were buried nearby!
Umm, isn't that pretty much what TRIOX is? Hell, I could use habenero sauce if I didn't care about killing the grass. corruptissima re publica plurimae leges - Tacitus
One of my favorite Dillard's quotes. Mitch Jayne wrote a couple of books, "Home Grown Stories & Home Fried Lies" was excellent, highly recommended. corruptissima re publica plurimae leges - Tacitus

Me too.
A reading of the Triox MSDS shows its active ingredients to be a combination of glyphosate (roundup) and imazapyr. What I suggested is a quick and dirty way of creating an Agent Orange-like herbicide. Apply it directly to the leaves of the vine. Those gray sponge paintbrushes work well.
