This is my only clean and healthy plant. The 1985 Miller. It didn't get any Round-Up spray issues when I sprayed three weeks ago, and actually I just sprayed five days ago again and it remained untouched. I should have taken more caution on the first spray and I wouldn't have hurt my other two plants. I used a blast sheild and stayed only a foot away from vine tips. I like spraying as the plant grows because it gives the tendrils the weeds to hold onto until the weeds die, and by then the vine is rooted. It's playing with fire, spraying as it grows, but even with the windy year, I haven't had any vines spin and up root. I hate when that happens. I then add a vine burying mixture to each leaf node, but I don't dig or trench, I prefer to have my soil jacked up everywhere, not just in a trench area. I have a humic acid and kelp mix in the pro-mix for leaf node burying, and after a week I have three roots into the garden at each node. The soil may looked packed but it's not. I use shoes with plywood platforms attched below like snow shoes. People think I'm crazy, becaue it looks it, but it's much better than setting up walking boards everywhere. The soil is fluffy below the surface.
