any budding gardners out there

[stoney]

ok i have some weed that keep coming back and get worse and worse i have tryed path clear but dosent realy make a diffrence :argh:

[FergusM]

Get one that attack the roots of the weeds....usualy "round up" is what I use. Just spray on leaves and leave it for a bit.

[Smitty]

Round-Up with a pump action sprayer does the job - that's what we use on the lock blocks at home, Dad's always making me do the hard graft!

The weeds do come back, but you just have to keep on spraying away every few weekends!

Sodium Chloride Weedkiller (available from most High St hardware stores) nukes em :thumbs up:

[Gismo]

If you wanna kill everything, then use anti freeze ;) not the washer bottle stuff, but the engine variety, you might have to hose the area after a day or so to get rid of the colour :thumbs up:

[MrMischief]

Or just a wee pile of sodium chloride (table salt) it's cheaper than the weedkiller :D

I normally use plenty ferrous sulphate - tends to make them grow like mad for a day or two, then they turn brown & they're gone for a year or so. The grass'll take off too - and not turn brown :thumbs up:

[Scottie]

How many weeds are we talking about.?? I take it they are in between your paving, that you have used path clear.?? You get those gaz burner torche things for weeds, we have used then to great effect no more weeds.

The weedkiller isn't sodium choride its Sodium Chlorate NaClO3.
Its a strong oxidising agent.

Yeah , yeah , whatever ya smartass :thumbs up:

[Gordons_cooper_wrks]

only use sodium c if ur not wanting to gro anything there for atleast 6 months. Other wise use round up. Its bio degradable so wont fuk the soil. Dont buy any of the fast acting stuff like resolva 24hr or bayer 3 hour. They kill the top growth very quickly but dont do much to the roots. U can buy most of that stuff in b and q or if ur stuck try sandyholm.

Still waitin in a price for ur graphicsbtw. i will chase it up again.

That's true - I was pulling his leg about NaCl but if you stick a pile of salt next to or on a plant, generally it'll die ;)

[Livi]

dont do this unless it true!!

but was there not a thing where you use diesel to kill weeds?

[The Dogfather]

Yeah , yeah , whatever ya smartass :thumbs up:

Another year older, and still grumpy :p

Diesel does work but you might find yourself in trouble if it gets into the drains when it runs off in rain.

[MINI William]

I use a big gas gun (tar gas gun) gets rid of them and if ur easaly amused like me its fun :smilewinkgrin:

[AndyP & Lenore]

You could always get rid of them Clarkson style.... blow them up with dynamite.:eek::laugh::laugh:

A.:D
