Hi, I just did battle with a ton of sticker bushes in my back yard. I finally got them cut down even with the lawn. They have taken over my back yard. I was wondering if there is anything I can mix up and pour over the roots to prevent them from growing back? :-x Thanks for any help. Richard Cooper New Paltz, New York
Roundup should kill them, but you have to spray the leaves. It then travels through to the roots and kills them.
Richie, Those stickers probably thrive in poor soil, most of them do. Putting normal weed killers on them will kill the ones you see, but amending your soil to make it healthy and fertile will keep them from coming back. They can not live in healthy soil.
