How much do I cut back the trumpet vine so it will grow.?

I have had the trumpet vine for 4 years and it has never bloomed. The first 2 years our help cut it with the weed eater but it came back. Do i cut it back to the ground or do i just leave it alone?

How much do I cut back the trumpet vine so it will grow.?
cheapest and simplist thing is to fertilize it, even use some kind of bloom enhancer ferti and see if that helps.
Reply:From personal experience as an Organic Horticulturist, I think you should cut it to the ground and paint the stump with "Roundup"! It will grow so large that it will eventually tear down whatever it is growing on. It is a pest plant in the same category as Kudzu, Virginia Creeper, and most Ivy Vines. If you must continue to grow it, put a 7 inch long piece of 4 inch PVC pipe 8 to 10 inches away from the base and pour in a mix of 1 gallon water, 1 can "flat" beer, and a cup of Household Ammonia. Later, add more water mixed with epsom salts.
