Re: 2 4 D
Water the bejesus out of it, and try to wash/dilute it a bit.. but there
will be a set back period... Good luck my friend.. I dont wish this on
any grower, but it seems that the growing community needs to start
stepping up and realize what our neighbors are spraying.. I know we cant
contain what they do, but it sure would help it if we could encourage
some type of alternate spraying that isnt so drift happy, and doesnt
devastate pumpkin patches so much. Our area is being overrun by ground
ivy, and I see people using it all over.. SO far, I have only had to
kill one neighbor.. (that is a joke, for those of you with no sense of
humor... I didnt kill him, I just winged him)
