I have heard that Round Up is not what it used to be. What is the good stuff to kill weeds etc. and keep it dead for a while?

Industrial strength round-up. Not the off the shelf, Walmart stuff.

Yeah, that stuff won't hardly turn your weeds or grass in the sidewalk yellow, never mind kill it off.

agent orange.

Yeah, that or Ortho "Tri-ox". I've seen it used to defoiliate about 3/4 of an acre one time.

Round up works good, but it depsends on the weed and thge application. Do you have weeds in your grass or do you want to control all vegitation?

Wally world round up is for sissy's. Get it from an ag supply place or get generic roundup which is called cornerstone (cheaper than roundup with the same strength).

What weeds to you want to kill, round up will kill everything? Do you want to leave any grass there?
2,4,D is a good broadleaf herbicide that won't kill grass and other long leaf plants like corn when applied correctly.

I like to use a 25% solution of Sodium Chlorite .You do not have to wonder, “did I spray that plant or did I not. If it is not smoking you did not spray it.


I got a PM asking about Sodium Chlorite as a weed killer, so I'm posting the following to protect myself.
No I do not recommend the use of sodium chlorite as a weed/ grass killer.
It is a very dangerous chemical and can blow up especially if under pressure.
It reacts very violently with organics. Producing smoke and sometimes fire if no moisture is present. It will kill all growth and with the salts that are in it nothing will grow for many years. There are products on the market that will do the job and at much less cost and are safe to use.

Siphon a gallon of fuel out of your truck. Now you're talking vegetation killer.

Napalm works great.
