The best way to kill kudzu that we have found, is to spray a solution of 1 gallon of vinegar to 1 cup of salt and add a squirt of dishwashing liquid. It may take more than one spraying, but will do the job. It also helps if the day is long and hot after spraying as the sun helps to bake the solution into the plant.Apr 3, 2020

This is worth celebrating! Tadpole Raisin Jul 2021 #1
