Look for their beauty > and they'll see the good in you. B-) Well... normally I don't really care as I've weeds all over my garden but when they start growing between paving stones, it' makes gaps between them and it's not a pretty sight. |

LOL - don't you love the scorched earth approach? It's so much easier in the long run :D And as Flanders once said to Homer : "I don't mind you picking my flowers 'n all for your float, but did you have to salt the earth too?"

How about long copper nails dipped in petrol and/or turps? |

| 247901 | 2004-06-28 05:30:00 | just another thought ... how about HOT water? Connect a hose to my laundry hot water outlet and hose the plant ??? | SKT174 (1319) | ||
| 247902 | 2004-06-28 05:32:00 | Flame throwers are fun.:D They deal to the weeds in a most spectacular fashion, and you don't have to remove the brown bits! Unfortunately the roots survive and resprout. Good excuse for another go with the F-T though. Also excellent practice for hotting up slow threads on Hackers forums as well.]:) Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 247904 | 2004-06-28 08:50:00 | But seriously folks, DAS is good. I use TAG but don't know if you can buy small quantities. Excellent long-term weedkiller. Glyco-phos sprays are good. Cheap, non-residual, and easily broken down. But for a driveway or situation where you want a permanent result, a longterm killer is the business. I'd suggest DAS unless you can get TAG in an affordable size. |

| 247905 | 2004-06-28 09:03:00 | Glyphosate does not work so well in winter, as it relies on the plant to take up the leaf surface liquid in the normal growing process, and not so much of that happens in winter (depending where you live). Glyphosate is not that good on driveways on its own, as it has no residual effect. I have had good (and cheap) effect from using agricultural salt (in the 40 kG bag) sprinkled on the drive. It tends to be more permanent, and works well with glyphosate as an overall solution. Watch excessive run-off into flower gardens, but never had a problem. |

| 247906 | 2004-06-28 09:29:00 | I have been using DAS for 5 years since I came here with no ill effects to any surrounding plants in my garden. I have a well established garden with trees, lawn and a fish pond closeby. No run-offs have killed the fish. or any plants. | summertime (2568) | ||
