Anyone ever tried (and succeeded) in getting a Trumpet Vine under control?

Thanks so much!

I'm just a tenant in a condo on the coast, so most of the field out front is coastal grasses. I put in a small raised veggie garden, with landscape fabric, sand and gravel underneath. Those blackberries are pushing up right under it.

I have seen some low-lying, drought resistant shrub with bright blue flowers all over town. I'm taking cuttings, and planning to slowly mow the weeds down and plant with the shrub. It seems to block everything out.

The blackberries take advantage of the wild grasses and spring up all around them, so maybe I will kill two birds with one stone if I can overplant with something that blocks other plants.

You really know your stuff. Thanks again.
