weed killer

[Lake Chuck Duck]

I used eraser from the feed store just recently and had a similar problem. The st. augustine grass at the fence lines is dead, but is now being replaced with some other kind of odd grass I am not familiar with.

free shipping and priced right. Reviews on how products work and information on what to use. Just remember about spraying some of the strong chemicals around where young kids and animals will use. I buy the eraser form these people and have had good luck. The roundup used to be 41% but now some is 18%. http://store.doyourownpestcontrol.com

No, that looks more like some nutsedge.

Mix a little diesel and a surfactant in with your weed killer. It usually lasts a while but in prime growing season it's hard to only spray once and be done.

[AubreyLaHaye458]

Yeahh. That's what we have the most trouble with.

You probably need a chemical application license to "sterilize" the ground

thanks guys, i'll ask around and see

Pramitol is what I have used in the past to sterilize a limestone driveway to prevent grass/weeds from growing between the tire paths.
works very well. I got a gallon of concentrate from a friend who farms rice and uses it along right of ways. I don't know if you have to be licensed or not but I did see some at Chastant Bro's feed store in Lafayette a few weeks back. Definitely scorched earth policy for a year!

thanks, that sounds like what I need

Hyvar is a soil sterilizer that you can buy at the feed store. I wouldn't recommend it for ditches though. It can kill crops if contaminated water is used for irrigation.

what about all those home made alternatives to round-up using vinegar and salt as weed killers I see on youtube? some recipe are straight vinager but they are all mostly vinager and salt but with some they also use dish soap and some use citrus oils too

do those really work as well as chemical weed killers?

thanks for all of the replies. i'm using honcho plus and shredder amine 4 that a farmer friend recommended it knocks it down but in a month i need to spray again. i was just wondering if there was something else that was better. what is the name of the generic round up?

There's a lot of them and each chemical company has their own. We use cornerstone.

The generic round up and 2-4d is a a great combination. Its not that the combo is not killing the grass, its that during our hot moist summers, new weed seeds sprout like crazy. I sometimes add a product called pendemethilum. Its like a pre emergent herbicide, that you can mix with your round up and 2-4d. It helps kill the weeds and seeds before they sprout up. Just be careful with some of those ground inert products. Those dont dilute fast like round up and can get into the ground water and travel a good ways and end up killing things you dont want them too.

Pendimethilin turned your hands and all your clothes yellow?

It did when my line on my spray tank burst in my face.lol
There is another one that isnt colored, but its about twice the price to not have the yellow color.

I have a buddy that used to get his crawfish pot and dump a sack of water softener salt and boil it til it dissolved. After it cooled off, he would spray his limestone areas with it. I'm thinking bout giving that a try. I'm having the same problems with weeds sprouting back after a few weeks. Correct me if I'm wrong but the roundup and 2-4D types are systemic herbicides. These just get the ones that are above the ground with the plant visible. The pre-emergence ones are aystemic or sumpin like dat.
