Evil Neighbors Killing Plants w/ Roundup
Comments (3)Surveillance cams!! I would even buy cheap shoes, plants, etc (things they have damaged in the past,) for them to potential damage again. Then provide a copy to the condo board/management. You can also provide a copy to the police (unless you want to wait for the boards reaction.) Ask for a supervisor/chief if the police officer doesn't help. If, for some reason, nothing is done even with video evidence, I would go to the local TV news stations....See MoreIs this crabgrass; if so anything short of Roundup avail to kill it?
Comments (14)NHBabs z4b-5a NHWow a lot of questions, but all good/pertinent. 100% Ix-nay on a golf course lawn, first of all, ha, not our style/ethos. Just not all weeds with little splotches of grass - and those rare and hard to see. We did this last year maybe late summer, early fall, def not spring. The guy "power raked" (right, he barely got 2 inches below the soil), then spread a lot of peat, perhaps a little mushroom compost (mem hazy on that, tho that is what I do with my community veg garden plot). Sterility of compost and peat unknown, typical Home Depot brand. The grass seed/fertilizer was Scotts Quick'r Lawn (something like that). I too wondered if one of the batches of amendments/etc was laden with this darn bad seed....The area that is compromised is prob our main 40' X 25' part between our townhouse and the sidewalk, the parkway grass is not in great shape but not AS bad. Hand weeding would basically mean the whole thing, and would be brutal, it is a consistent coverage of the lawn. I could maybe rent a smallish tiller from Home Depot and turn over the whole thing as part of an overall plan - (the days of a 150-200 lb rototiller I used to use for our veg garden are long gone due to lumbar issues!) Confused as to whether I should apply some non-toxic ((at least not Roundup level) stuff NOW, as the seasonal clock is ticking. I do thank you for you comments and suggestions! We also have a soil sample in at Chicago's Loyola U labs, curious what theyll say......See Morekilling wild violets with paintbrush and roundup
Comments (1)Bravo and thanks for sharing that. I did something similar with bad woody vines, poison ivy and brambles: used a 1" paint brush & brush killer. But they still send up shoots from roots that weren't completely killed. Hope your Violets are gone for good!...See MoreWhich is better to kill sweet gum tree roots - roundup or tryclopyr?
Comments (3)None of the above. If you need to accelerate their rotting, just drill holes in the stump and fill them with saltpeter or epsom salt and pee or water (not more toxic waste)....See Moreals2002
