And here is a photo of the MG I planted at the same time. Look at how much smaller it is. It is completely manageable. I dug a hole the exact size of the container it came in, removed the plant from it's container and plopped it right into the hard clay soil. It obviously has to work hard, and it can't go anywhere I don't want it to. The MG on the chimmney on the other hand requires vigilance, but is still manageable as long as I get up on an extension ladder and run those vines back down the chimmney. I am also going to make sure it doesn't get much more dense than what it is so that rats don't decide to make a home in there.
