Morning Glory Seed Bank: Why Pulling Isn't Enough

Morning glory persists because of its "seed bank"—not all seeds germinate the next year; some wait up to 5 years. You must control EVERY plant for 5+ years to deplete the bank. Weeds are nature's successful competitors. Keep hoeing—it's good exercise and the only way to win this long game.
