I try to cut them down every year, but man do those things grow fast! And thick vines! Some are as thick as my wrist and grow so high up in the trees there's no way I can reach them. But...I'll find a place for the new ones and keep a good eye on them. Thanks. ;) V.

Hahahah! Very funny about selling it. Honestly, I wish someone did as I've collected seeds for YEARS and haven't gotten any good results. Grumble grumble. I see it totally taking over chain link fences all over the place. I'm jealous! LOL. I grow a lot of "weeds' or native plants in my garden too, water bug guy. Lots of cassias (sennas), penstemons, brittle bush, desert marigolds, and my favorite success story: wolf berry and chokeberries from seeds I've collected around. Any opuntia/cholla that pops up in a spot that's not bad gets to live too. Great that we think alike. Bermuda grass people can keep it, hah! Happy gardening all!

I'm going to bump this post because I'm having a problem with the dreaded dichondra spreading in my cavalier zoysia. I know it's not a hardy weed by any means and that it does not benefit from deep, infrequent waterings. In addition, I know some people don't consider it a weed but those weirdos live in California for a reason. LOL.\\ Anyway, the stuff just started sprouting up all over about a week ago (when I started watering in some new sterile soil dressing)- the zoysia is still mostly winter dormant and some of the dichondra (not alot) was there last summer. It's really on a growing spurt and I'm not big on broad-leaf weed killers (chemicals) SO is the only known remedy to water deeply, infrequently and hope the zoysia gets going robustly to crowd/shade out this pesky dichondra weed - and the Texas sun bakes it to a crisp this summer while my hardy zoysia remains intact or only slightly dormant due to the extreme heat?

Perhaps it's some kind of Smilax.
