After starting the war with the Chinese Jasmine, many many hours with a veggie peeler and 100% glyphosate.

Thankfully more people help out these days, I haven't really done much of late but I hope to change that as the birds have finally decided that I'm not enemy No1.
That is amazing work. Crazy it has taken 100% glyphosate!!

Will the jasmine return?

It's just easier with 100%, you don't have to worry about missing a few bits, you pop a drop or two on each scraped section and it knocks a lot of the plant around.

There is still Jasmine in there but it's not a carpet like it was, in some parts it was probably 2" thick of stems(runners?) it was starting to drop/kill trees. You can see one small tree that still has a curve in it from the weight of the Jasmine hanging off it.

Now the new weed is Madeira Vine, I haven't had much to do with it yet but the group has removed about 220lb of tubers.
People were also planting Arum Lily and they asked if they could keep it in the reserve, I threw a tantrum and ripped it all out but it's a forever weed so it will be back.
