DazAllison1 556 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Looking for some advice on the best treatment to get rid of weeds, I'm moving my kennel to a new spot so need it cleared and weeded so any advice on weed killer would be helpful Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 " Roundup " Scores Zero on the 'Poison Any Other Shit' listings. Put simply? It's like bottled water, to anything non vegetative. So, yeah; While it would knock over a good third of this place .......... Seriously; My dogs sit there while I spray it feet from them. Weeds die, days later. Dogs thrive. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bootsha 1,306 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 glyphogen..................excatly the same as roundup........but way way cheaper. broad spectrum systemic herbicide, takes about 10 days for the stuff to keel over, thats cos it works from the roots up, (hence systemic) not like a contact herbicide, which has faster acting results, but not so good long term.

Nik_B 3,790 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Post spraying cover the area with a light proof membrane to prevent any dormant seeds from germinating. This is what I am going to do in my battle against the bind weed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sussex 5,777 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Nik B ..I found the best way with that bind weed (I had tons of the shite ) roundup ,which knocks it down then I let it grow up canes & roundup again . According to gardener ,who told me the idea is to get a bit of leaf to absorb more weedkiller , it took about 10 goes to get rid of it completely .My mate made the mistake of trying to dig it up ...spread it all over the place Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Jet fuel (Avtur) i spilt 40,000 gallon once went back to the spot 15 years later and it was still bare earth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiercel 6,986 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Sodium chloride nothing will grow there for over a year, as seeds germenate in the ground they are killed. It is sold in many forms such as path and patio weed killer. TC Edited July 10, 2013 by tiercel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
04fox8 168 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Round Up or glyphocate from garden centres As Above, But not from a Garden Centre....They offer you a weaker concentrate....Much more expensive too. Try and get some of the 'real' stuff from a farmer, or farm supplier...Much more potent! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bosun11 537 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 If its bramble or other heavy duty brush type weeds, S.B.K. is very good, though they sell it ready mixed, try to get hold of the concentrate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
reaper6 84 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Any farm supplier will sell you some glypocate...easy to use and safe around animals..dont expect instant results take between 10-15 days to really take effect 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
