Do you have some disability that prevents you from reading application instructions? Glyphosate absolutely kills the shit out of weeds and grass. Mix it properly and apply it at the right time of day.

tractor supply has a 43% with some salt mixed in that works pretty well

How about don't be lazy and just pull the weeds and not poison the earth.

Quoted: Typical government and big corporate lies Glyphosate gives you cancer and doesn’t kill weeds asap Diesel does not give you cancer and works right away Prove me I’m wrong View Quote Wrong on all counts. Many agricultural plants can be sprayed with glyphosate and not be affected. It kills certain weeds like it’s supposed too and not more dangerous than many household products. Do any of that with diesel and get back to me. And sometimes I mix a little diesel with it as a suffocant, but you don’t have to. Diesel will kill certain trees, shrubbery, and flowers that is pretty safe with glyphosate if you know what you are doing. |

LOL at anyone thinking diesel is less of a health risk than glyphosate.

Quoted: Why? Some pesticides are oil emulsifiable, and are even used with an oil carrier such as diesel fuel or kerosene.

If you guys eat veggies and other foods from the store, you're eating food that has had glysophate sprayed all over it.
Just wanted to let you know that. |

Can confirm prices have gone insane. Last 2.5 gal of rm43 was around $110 at tractor supply. The one I bought 3 weeks ago was right over $140. Roundup works fine applied correctly but for my uses I prefer a little more persistent stuff. I do have some of the ‘nuke it forever’ sterilant but I’m awfully careful where
That gets used due to runoff concerns. |

Quoted: The evidence that Glyphosate causes cancer is highly suspect at very best. The evidence that diesel fuel in your groundwater is bad for you, is pretty solid. Choose wisely. Both will kill weeds. One will find its way into your water. The other quickly binds to soil particles and eventually breaks down. View Quote Groundwater in your diesel is also contraindicated. |

Quoted: No it doesn't! Glycophate kills pretty much anything green it touches. It is taken in through the leaves and distributed throughout the plant. It breaks down quickly in the soil. If they were spraying it on their crops, they would be killing their crops.

Just wanted to let you know that. Dude, just about every soy, corn, canola, sugar beets, cotton, alfalfa, and wheat crop out there is RoundUp Ready. They spray it right on the crops. FDA even allows it in the food....

Quoted: Typical government and big corporate lies Glyphosate gives you cancer and doesn’t kill weeds asap Diesel does not give you cancer and works right away Prove me I’m wrong View Quote Glyphosate is very effective. At 2.5% it kills grass like bermuda. 5% for tougher weeds and 10% for tough woody weeds and poison ivy. You do need to watch the ph of the water- above 7.0 it will be less effective. If you need to burn down weeds fast add diquat but be aware that it can burn the plants down so fast that the glyphosate won’t have time to reach the roots and the weed will regrow. As with any herbicide the plant has to be actively growing. Also glyphosate attacks through the leaf. If the weed id cut before or immediately after it won’t be effective. |

I was always told it is quite illegal to spray diesel, used motor oil, gas, etc... as a weed killer.
I suppose getting caught in the act would be the thing. However if someone wanted to fuck with you and some karen reported you, all it would take is a soil sample. Not sure what the fines/punishment would be. Probably depends on how much you sprayed. To me, not worth the risk. There is this stuff I get at lowes made by specracide, it works fast! Way faster than roundup. Hell they are usually wilting after a few hours in the sun. https://www.amazon.com/Spectracide-HG-96622-1-Weed-Grass-Killer/dp/B0773K7Z7M |
