2. Spray (summer): glyphosate (10ml/L) or metsulfuron-methyl 600g/kg (5g/10L (knapsack) or 40g/100L (spraygun)) or Tordon Brushkiller (60ml/10L). Add penetrant to all mixes. Do not use for ivy growing against trees."

metsulfuron-methyl is "Escort"

1134788 2010-09-07 04:18:00 Surfer Joe - what exactly is the "weed oil"? Brand name? Chemical make up?

Ya know - I really don't know - that's the only name I've ever known for it. It smells like the stuff we used to use to oil our dirt roads to cut dust and grooving when cars drove over them. The stuff's got a really instantly-recognizable aroma to me; I kinda like it.



Wonders if there is a stockpile of Agent Orange lying about anywhere? :)

That's the stuff I used to mix up for the DMZ when I was in VietNam. I got so much of it into my body that this is why I have all the health issues I do today.

Osteoporosis and lungs are shot to pieces and fortunately I don't have any cancers yet from that stuff. But if you were ever in V-N, and you ate or drank anything, you got AO too.
