ÜberFly Posted July 7, 2010 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
darrinhurst Posted July 7, 2010 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
Ricinus Posted July 7, 2010 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
Tungsten Posted July 7, 2010 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 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
Tungsten Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Whats this hot sunny day you speak of Jack and where can i get one? Quote
Taco Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 The hot sunny day is scheduled for August 17th this yr Quote
ÜberFly Posted July 7, 2010 Author 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? Quote
SilverDoctor Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 I use bleach, works great and dissipates in a couple of days. Quote

SteveM Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 actually I meant pave it or pour concrete, that will deal with any weeds. Concrete, maybe... I've seen a lot of weeds busting up through paved bike paths! Quote
