Can I spray the area of my patch before the pkns get there? I have bad bindweed and wild gerraineum (spelling) need to weed twice a day to keep up with them.
Thanks

Use Round UP safe as long as you don't hit active growing vegatation that you want, If you do rinse off immediately and it will be okay. Takes about two hours before you can count the plant out. Alex my son likes to use shout has an immediate reaction on young pumpkin plants. Lol

2-4D is scarry stuff....when its sprayed on the vegitation the sun/temps can volitize it and a herbicide mist will travel downwind possibly killing everything good and bad in its way. Rocky Rockwell lost a few great plants and a whole season this way last year.....I wouldn't use it........G

I lost a plant one year while spraying Roundup. Didn't hit the leaves or vine, but think I sprayed some small roots that were exposed. I also advice using a red dye so you can see what's sprayed and what ain't.
