Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire weed killer

mostly grass. do they make one that won't harm vegetables.

I don’t think they make anything like that.

figured, chit growing like wild fire in the garden. i been sick for over 2 weeks and with all the rain its getting out of hand, guess i'll just have to pull it out. maybe find a wetback for 20 dolla.

Sheet good luck with that. Fn wetbacks want $100 a day plus lunch.

Find one, ket me know. Damned scientists are slacking!

I just spent half a day completely digging out my grassed-in strawberry bed, rebuilding it, and replanting a portion of the plants after working as much grass out of the salvaged soil as I could. Made up the discarded turf with potting soil, mixed in.

No doubt I missed some, but I'll get those as they come up again. Berries needed it anyway- it has been 4-5 years since last thinning/replanting. Production was way down last summer.

FYI, Weed-B-Gone will kill most anything except grass as it is a broadleaf killer. That is - if used in recommended dilute form. If it is the undiluted concentrate, you can forget the grass too. (Whoops! ). Almost as lethal as Roundup.

I use WBG on lawn dandilions. As they bloom, they get sprayed, and the blossoms picked and put in a trash bag so they don't go to seed anyway. Repeat every few days, as needed. By the end of summer the dandilions are gone.

Repeat next year. Bastids come back from wind-blown seed.

But you probabky knew all this.

I've had good luck with Hi Yield Grass Killer . I use it in our flower beds and around blueberries. You can get it through Amazon, Wal-Mart, and some retail nurseries.

We used to use one called “Select” on soybeans to kill the grass. Pretty sure it was restricted use and don’t know how it would play well with other garden plants.

I've used devrinol around strawberries.

I dont know what you have planted.

You could still use gly4, however i would not spray it. I would take a mop handle and tie a rag ball on the end and very carefully go around and 'daub' target weeds with it. Dont do it within a forecasted same day rain.

And dont mix it stronger than the label

Also you could mix some dawn dishwashing liquid in with the dip to give it a little more surfactant.

Good info!

Roger, with the high humidity and dew in the morning, any herbicide you put on the grass will get transferred to the plants you don't want to kill.

We use this on our peas to help keep the grass out. Doesn't kill all the weeds, but sure does help.

In another life I used to work for a soil scientist from K-State at the Fort Hays Station, handled a lot of chemicals some had no trade names at the time. My advice to you is pull em then apply a pre-emergent such as Preen. The mop or wick application might work, but in a high humidity region like yours most veggies are susceptible to the vapors or fumes. I know this because I killed some peppers I had planted when I walked through them after work one day and the residual on my jeans burnt the crap out of them. Sorry man but I'd pull em.

Poast

Clethodim 2e

There are several.

Back before Roundup Ready cotton, they used MSMA to kill Johnson grass in cotton fields. Ought to work killing grass in vegetables.

“ ought to “ is the key phrase.

Sethoxidim. It comes under a number different brand names so just search online for it. It won't harm any broadleaf plants. It's fairly expensive. 8 oz will cost something like $25-30 but it doesn't take very much. Don't let it freeze or it's gone.
Higbean mentioned Poast. Same thing. That's probably the most popular brand name but I've never seen it in small quantities.

i think i'll get the old lady and 3-4 others out there and we'll just hit a few rows each....... lmao already know what she'll tell me.

Clethodim is what we use at the camp if we are just trying to kill the grass and leave any broadleafs

I have a space where I want to kill everything ... leave bare dirt. It's got grass .. probably some sort of fescue from the look of it, plus blackberries, "burr clover" (buttercup), dandelion, and other. Any suggestions? My first thought is to spray it twice, first with roundup, then come back later with crossbow for the blackberries. It's adjacent to a hay field so I'm thinking about waiting 'til late summer after the hay has been bailed and hauled off and irrigation is done. Are there other spray options that'd be more effective?
