The tendency of blackberries, lantana and blue morning glory (Ipomoea indica) to take over the garden makes them the hedge gardener's No. 1 enemy! What could be more distressing for a gardener than seeing his hedge having to compete with these vigorous plants? These particularly tough weeds will steal light, water and nutrients from your plants and sometimes even smother them. We recommend first cutting away the aerial parts with a pruning saw or secateurs, and then waiting for the weeds to regenerate. Young shoots are much more susceptible to weedkiller. Roundup Gel can be applied to these young leaves, enabling the weeds to be destroyed with precision right down to their root, and your hedge remains tidy.
