Round up is more effective with leafy plants. I've got vines as big around as Hillary's ankles. I cut them out of the trees first with a long thing I got from Lowes, and yank them down. Amazing how much light gets let in. When they lose all that, they get weak, and I just cut them down to the ground with my little electric Lady's Chain Saw. They sprout up new little leafy vines, and those you can kill with roundup.

One year I got enough grapes to make a vin santo--

I have 3 grape vines in the back yard.

A couple of years they have produced so heavily that I could have opened a winery if there had been any grapes left.

I pinched and squeezed, even tasting a few for the peak of ripeness.

Started collecting my supplies for an off day to start wine production.

Went to pick the grapes and every last one of them was gone.

3 vines totally plucked by furry tailed rats in 1 day.

They must have had a squirrel party and invited them for blocks.

Totally P...O'ed.

Round up works well with leafy plants but you still hafta kill the root.

Things that can send up sprouts from the root like grape vines and poke you gotta starve the root and then poison it.

Round up works.
