Re: Round-Up and dandelions
Hello to all,
Long time since I have posted but here goes.
I was out so looked into the Spectracide ..
There were two one for lawns and one for 'paths,driveways,etc.'according to that
ones label info it would kill for up to a year.Assuming from that it does have some
residual activity..
Since it appears to be residual in nature is there in problem with
translocation?Would hate to lose anything except the weeds.
Does anyone have experience with the Eliminator product?would really appreciate
hearing from anyone who has first hand comparisons of these two products.
What happens to any new plantings after the weeds have been killed?
How did it perform for any who have used it..
Thanks for the interesting info.
