    Brush killer. Just don't let it drift to anything you want to keep.

    Hi Casey,

    The key to getting rid of pokeweed is to cut off all of the berries. Several articles recommend a chemical like Roundup but one of my favorite sites states that it's use is optional if you follow their step-by-step directions. Doing it without chemicals takes a lot more work, so the choice is yours. Click here to read the article about removing pokeweed. Wishing you success with your project!

      It's a week killer that is made by several vendors. We buy it at the co-op or Tractor Supply. My husband prefers Hi-Yield brand. (picture below)
