I've never found an organic method that works except lots and lots of black plastic. Put it down and leave it down for 2 years. The woman who owns my local nursery built her greenhouse on a bank which was covered with the stuff. I wouldn't go near her fruit trees for the first three years because I am so allergic. At the end of the 3rd year, she took up the plastic, and it's been gone ever since. Going on 5 more years now.

Thanks Leisurelee

I was just reading something like that, it said to cook it out,
Water well and trap it under a plastic drop cloth. Let the sun cook and kill it.

The only product that I know will kill this vine - leaves and roots is "Round Up", which can be bought at any nursery or hardware store. Whatever you do, DON'T BURN IT!!!
