Re: REB: Belvi Queen

 

Hello Jan,
 
My neighbor would use surgical gloves, a flat container and a sponge.
Also knee pads.  On tougher spots she used the sprayer, but, put a
soda bottle with the bottom cut out taped to the sprayer.  So the spray
went where she wanted it.

Hello Jan,
 
instead of spraying i put on a pair of surgical gloves, i put the roundup mixture in a flat container, put my hand in the liquid and i apply it my hand on the weeds. It is very precise, and works very well. Of course, you still must be able to get on your knees and crouch along...!
 
I usually do it on the Bindweed and it works wonders without using loads of poison everywhere.

Linda, Going back to last week, you said  "With the magic of Roundup, a few rebloomers are appearing... "  How do you use Roundup around the irises without getting those strange flowers.  My neighbor used it a few years ago and I had some terrible blooms on the plants near his field. 

I ask because I have a terrible crabgrass problem in one of my iris beds.  No matter how much I dig, some still escapes me and it comes back in full attack.

Thanks, Jan in Chatsworth

With the magic of Roundup, a few rebloomers are appearing...

This one is such a tough, reliable old thing, it surprises me no
descendants are registered. Not very fertile? Ugly ugly children?
