This is the damage. My 1463 got hit the hardest. I think I'll have to pull it. The 5 year old manure that I use has a lot of weed seeds in it. It's hard to see where the garden ends and the lawn starts. I don't walk in the garden so I don't want to hand work the weeds, nor do I have the time to do 2500 square feet of weeding. The round-up works great, but I simply got too close to the new growth. I sprayed it later last year, and went into the older vines away from the tips and under the taller, older leaves. I've sprayed lots of round-up in my life on poison ivy and poplar suckers and know how it acts, but I really underestimated the sensitivity of the vine tips. The Freak is behind my 1463. It suffered less burning than the 1463, and isn't in critical condition. It's not perfect, but it will survive. Certainly won't be a PB as it's been slowed.
