Hmm. I bought Poast and used it about two months ago. It
was reasonably effective -- some grass plants were killed
outright, others turned yellow and slowed down a lot, which
let the other plants crowd them out.
Used it on an area where I'm growing wildflowers, but the
annual grasses were taking over. It seemed to stunt the
California poppies a little, but everything else did OK.
