villageidiotY2K Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Hello folks, as u can see on attached Pic, on the edge of blue roof their weeds are growing onto my side. Seems they do not live here anymore for like 2 yrs and the place is being abandoned. Their mailbox is full and documents scattered inside them porch. I don't have any exp with any gardenings, but pouring some weed killer chemi onto them will kill em? What brand is good and cheap? (from Thai shops only) Also I have a water tank around the weed, it won't contaminate right...? Kool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jak2002003 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Agree...just go over the wall and cut it down / weed killer to roots. That plant is just a common vine that is a weed here. No one will care if you kill it...it's not a purposely planted garden plant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daffy D Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Use something like this:- Dilute with water and use a sprayer to spray all over the weed leaves and as there is no one next door poke the sprayer over the wall and give a good spraying to all the plants growing up the up and along the other side of the wall. You may not see results for maybe a week, depending how tough the plant is but this stuff does work. Choose a windless day as you don't want the killer droplets to go all over the place killing at innocent plants at random Keep the equipment as you probably have to do it several times a year, specially in the rainy season.

There's a gap above wall and below roof. Cut the plants as far down as you can reach when standing on a ladder. Repeat as necessary. If it's a weed, just pull it and it should break off low down, or even come out of the ground. Don't use weed killer if possible, but if necessary just use it over the wall and not on your roof. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villageidiotY2K Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 Oh dear lord Jesus, I don't have the energy and might to do all that stuff. As I'm a farang keenok I don't wanna spend big bucks on ladders, spray equipments etc just for those greeny weeds. I will just let it grow. There won't be any problems right?? I'm renting this property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffy Frobisher Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 We had a similar problem with our neighbour, and my wife and maid (this will sound very counter-intuitive) poured about 4 bags of the strongest fertilizer they could find around the bottom of the tree. Leaves started turning yellow within days, and a month later it was dead. Apparently the fertilizer burns the roots so badly it can't get water and nutrients from the soil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJRS1301 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Boiling hot water and two cups vinegar per litre, around the roots over three consecutive days, should do it. Spray vinegar on the leaves as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSam Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 If you cant get to the top of that (short) wall to cut or pull out those vines (as a wise poster suggested) then how were you going to get on to your roof to spray the chemicals, or more importantly, where were you planning on spraying them?

Moonlover Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I've never been one for gardening, but Madam Moon has a simple solution. Outsource it! She has several 'uncles' who are happy to come round and tackle issues such as this for very modest fees. She's happy, I'm happy and we're contributing our little bit to the village economy. It's a win win all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
