ÜberFly Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Ok so I need to kill some grass, weeds, flowers, etc. along the fence and walkway... What's gonna work that is available at Canadian Tire, Home Depot, Rona, etc.? Also, no personal "opinions" on the environmental debate of using herbicides, etc. Please! I've heard "Round Up" will work, but I thought it was just for weeds... Thanks, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrinhurst Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Round Up will work. It kills everything that's green. My brother in law accidentally killed his wife's garden while getting rid of some grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricinus Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Roundup will kill all vegetation. It may take a couple of applications to kill seeds that sprout. As an added benefit you are supporting Monsanto as well-- had to get my dig in!! Regards Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Carefully read the instructions,It will KILL anything and everything. I buy the concentrate and mix 1 cap full to a liter of water and spray it on my side walk weeds.Your best to spray a little first and see what it does.If you overdose then any tree roots in the area will also die.As my neighbor found out.

jack Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Spray pure white vinegar on the area on a hot bright sunny day. Re-apply the next day, if similar conditions, for the really tough plants. Kills most plants within hours. Beats Roundup or Agent Orange. j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ÜberFly Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 Colin, Inbetween concrete slabs, between slabs and garage, and between sidewalk and fence (landscape fabric, white rock and small pavers for potted plants) and between sidewalk and fence (gravel)... Will try vinegar but most of it's in the shade and then the Round up if that doesn't work... Thanks everyone. P Pavement or concrete?
