Before and after

Sharing a greenhouse foundation with my neighbor means sharing all the unwanted weeds that creep over from her property to mine. So this year with her permission, I decided to cut back the highly invasive porcelain berry vines (Ampelopsis brevipedunculata) that have enveloped her portion of the greenhouse.

Cutting them back early and covering the remaining roots with tarps is the best and most eco-friendly way to get rid of them. I did the same on my side last year and after 6 months in the dark, the vines were all gone. Digging and cutting them up, there is a fine loam of decayed leaves and detritus on the concrete paths leading around the interior of the greenhouse foundation. Shoveling them to the side, they should make a good base to plant in next year sometime.
