If there has been no rainfall for a week or more causing the weeds to be under stress (especially blackberries & ragwort), then the weedkiller will be wasted as they won't be affected.
Ed Re: Roundup Question 11Jan 08, 2009 10:22 am Fu Manchu ahh but add seasol and then see that turned on it's head Are you sure it will work? Many acres, many years, many blackberries, many ragwort.. the metabolism slows to a stop in drought - it's only water through the root system that makes the plant breathe again and then it will succumb to the weed killer. If you think it will work I will try, but I have my doubts... Re: Roundup Question 12Jan 08, 2009 10:29 am I have been using seasol in with various herbicides for about 3 years now, it improves the results by miles! Especially when using glypho products.
It has allowed me to spray when I normally may not and still maintain results. (ie in heat) No doubt what you say is correct and spraying after rain is a good idea but not always practical in summer. Add the seasol and you will still get results, not as goos as at the particular time you have mentioned but results none the less which is great when you can't pick and choose your spray days too much Re: Roundup Question 15Jan 08, 2009 11:43 pm I use about 6-10ml p/ ltr normally. If spraying will be hard to do I would suggest bumping it up to 15ml per/ ltr.
For urea it is one teaspoon per 5 ltrs or thereabouts. Re: Roundup Question 16Jan 09, 2009 2:15 am This thread has reminded me to talk about a product that we are using to kill a few stray blackberries in our back yard.
It is called Garlon 600, available from ag suppliers, and similar to other poisons, costs well over $100 for a litre. The results are impressive though. You don't have to wait until the blackberries are in flower, unlike some other specialist blackberry poisons, and once diluted a little bit goes a long way. Roundup is hopeless on blackberries in our experience. Re: Roundup Question 17Jan 09, 2009 7:50 am We had most of the blackberries cleared during winter with a backhoe to try to get a handle on them in the back paddocks.... now they are coming through fiercley....at least they are manageable at this point... so I will try Garlon 600.....I had been using Grazon previously.....maybe its time they had a change of diet Re: Roundup Question 18Jan 09, 2009 3:54 pm good stuff that. The same as the domestic blackberry and woody weed killers but far far stronger concentration of tryclopyr which is what is in it
...well not good for us. nasty stuff but good in the sencse that when used safely it is about the only effective means to an end for the blackberries.

Just about to spray Garlon... do you recommend Seasol with this too? And what's best for bracken? Garlon doesn't work. Thanks Ed Re: Roundup Question 20Jan 26, 2009 6:27 pm well Ed the stuff you are using is Triclopyr, just another brand name with it as an active ingredient.
Having been lucky not to have encountered bracken fern, can not say what will be good for it. It's ineffectiveness so far may lay in the fact that Ferns take up nutrients and water very slowly. If i said what to use I would be making it up. Sorry you just found my Kryptonite What you can be assured of is that adding seasol to whatever herbicide is effective will "amplify" it's effect just as well. You can really use anything you want the main consideration would be how it looks once painted/finished - or the look you want. Cabinetmakers use MDF because its cheap… 2 10106 I would say both styles you have pictured are steel. The lower chord of the first pic would be a massive lump if made using timber considering the size of the rafters. If… 1 6268 1 13238 |
