Isn't Agent Orange actually DDT?
Think so but not positive...

vinegar and salt makes hydrochloric eventually.

play it smart and find a dominant lawn seed.

you can do Kentucky blue grass and fancy stuff at your location.

Real grass cowers in fear over here. Weeds prevail.

I think Agent Orange was a mix of 2-4D and another vegatation killer.........nasty stuff, for sure, but effective. DDT is for bugs, isn't it?

Soooooo glad to see this thread, guys. If there is one thing that battles for my hot rod time, it's the stupid lawn. I like owning my own house. I despise the mowing and weeding and chasing away the bugs and the mowing and the weeding.
Really helpful that you guys listed all the natural home remedies for weed removal.

Vinegar, salt and Dawn works! But gotta let it dry on the plant.. Gotta cover pretty good too..
Gotta be able to stand the smell too..

I buy my vinegar by the gallon.. 2 per time.. Use a spray bottle, wander around hitting the green spots in wherever I don't want stuff growing.. Spray bottle is best from Walmart (at least around here) can find in dollar stores..

I wish I had something to legally add to this conversation...........gosh I really do.

Just imagine this though - - how many gallons of Roundup do you suppose goes on a 400 acre field? Do you suppose those gallons cost $20 per gallon?

Agent Orange was still sold until about 12 years ago under the name "Paraquot".

leading to the surge in metal halide lamp sales?

Good timing PW. I just sprayed 3 gallons of "Eraser" with my backpack sprayer yesterday. Cheaper than Roundup, it only takes a light mist on a hot day-BAM. It rained a few hours later but it is clearly doing its thing. I buy it in gallon jugs from the local farm store. A gallon lasts me 2-3 years. My gravel driveway is 300'+/- long and I spray it (and more) 3-4 times a year.

Monsanto lost patent control on Roundup in 2000 - there's a ton of clones out there now. Eraser is one of them...

Glyphosate, N–(phosphonomethyl)glycine, in the form of its isopropylamine salt

41% mix rate is like Roundup Pro. Nasty indeed. The downside is it only treats active vegetation and it's just like Roundup in that it's toxic to pets and humans.

I was reading on it last night and it seems that farmers are now able to use Glyphosate resistant crops - ie, you can spray your crops and all it kills is the weeds. We used to use it in asian jasmine that way to kill the bermuda. It won't touch asian jasmine.

I'm surprised Bruab hasn't checked in, this was his bag for a while (Scotts)
