Weed control

[littlerob]

had a old guy i worked for that got on the subject of killing weeds and he insisted note killed weeds better than caustic soda for his dive have to admit i couldn't see one in his gravel and i looked hard

Torden 22k with added garlon ultra.. Not cheap but will kill most things including jk , but a spray programme would be needed , not just a one off

Use Rosate 36. Best weed killer I've ever used. One application, even on brambles, sapling trees etc. Kills EVERYTIME, even knotweed.

 

Will the rosate 36 kill the weeds for a season? Tried something called ground clear 2 weeks ago cost 20 quid and no dead anything yet The council are trying to claim the land [ land that the Bolton council as an interest in] according to Bolton council web site. They council did use something on the knot weeds last August and nothing as started to grow back yet.Took them months after i phoned them though .Need to use what ever they used on that.Just want long term control sick of getting brush cutter out.

Agree but bear in mind that both tordon and garlon will not touch grasses unless you overdose so your drive could end up a lawn.

I thought Rosate was just a cheap glyphosate product with no residual effect.

Chikara is supposed to be good for non crop areas

Yes. Make the concentrate higher than they reccommend and it's kills all common weed issues.

Gallop is stronger than normal glypho and with chikara mixed will keep it at bay for year knot weed will kill as well. its not the stuff you use but when spray early and it gets in leave it untill may june grown stronger and have a resistant to most stuff. now is the time they are getting gowing and taken in all the nutriants spray them and will take them in and chikara will be waiting to stop them coming up

Pretty much the norm for any aspect of weedkill chemical, but not exactly in line with environmental standards you have as guidelines for safe application.........

+1 using more than recomended dose per water could if it caused IF enviromental damage. then you would be liable for any clean up or any restoration due to not using it to the mMAPP leaflet with the chemical.
