Correct me if I'm wrong but as advised by one person it is now OKAY to let people break the law as a daily habit because we are worried about an outcome ? Professorroush if someone did this to one of your garden areas what outcome would you of Un-predictably NOT be concerned with that would you would let let it slide off as a WHO CARES WHAT SOMEONE DID ATTITUDE. Personally I USE TO think better of you than that and perhaps you wouldn't of let it be just another day in the garden brush off. I don't mean and never meant to sound encouraging you seek a manner of revenge as suggested by some of the feed back that is now posted either, I understand that some are as upset as you are there is a big difference between actions and reactions I'm supportive to there is no need to let this person continue doing what they do YES as hartwood said you do NEED TO KNOW AND HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW what they used and EXACTLY what they used to the details NO IF'S ANDS OR BUTS ABOUT IT Labeled products that are: herbicidal,insecticidal,fertilizing (and some others) have CLEARLY WRITEN INSTRUCTIONS on how to use, where to use,how much to use, storage,disposal and more. ANY MISUSE of application by a licensed or unlicensed person is a CLEAR VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAWS as printed prior to (and again at the same time as the ANY QUESTIONS CALL 1 800 number) parts of the label(s) Simply put to let ANY applicator slide as if this never happened at all allows them to continue there habits in a manner that is unlawful (as seen by the wording neighbor) Other than that I read your post originally as the roses where near the fence and also meant yes you do have the right to tell someone who is paid for a service to not conduct a service specific to an area regardless of the product. Meaning. They ARE not to act in a manner not consistent than what you requested with out reason. ( by what you now posted as I understand it rest assured They have no reason) Just as a reference Diesel fuel leaves nice greasy stains on greens and jeans, if your grass looks like it's been moon lighting as a mechanic then you have a fuel spill problem. As to what can and can't grow in a fuel type spill is somewhat relative to what fuel is at the spill, how well it is cleaned, how much, how sharp the area is, other climate and environmental factors. The wording I used is meant to read, a heavy fuel ( such as diesel) does stay residual for an extended amount of time and can severely limit what grows in the effected area during it's residual time. Still confused ? See also: oil spills, Exxon oil, BP oil

I know this is an old thread, but anything can be killed by simply cutting off once a week until it dies. Many of us don't have the time or patients to do that. I started on Jonson grass in 1947 and didn't do it every week and worked at every year until 1973 on 164 acres. I finely killed with two applications of Roundup on 900 acres in and used less than a gallon of Roundup on wick applicator I built. I just had to touch the Johnson grass and died. The weather and mix of Roundup were right I never got it to work that good again. After that it always took the 3 or 4 applications to wipe out Johnson grass. It still beats 25 years on my knees digging up every year. You can kill any plant that lives by cutting off everything green once a week until it uses up all the nutrients stored under ground. It's best to start in late summer or early fall and not let it build up anything for the winter. An established stand of bamboo has lot built up in ribosomes it may be tough to kill. Cutting down bamboo the first time will be hard. If it were me I would cut it down in early August and let it grow back some then spray it with Roundup a week after the first good rain in August and two weeks later cut off everything green off every week until first frost then dig it up and turn the ribosomes up to dry. I would haul off as many ribosomes as I could cover them with a mix of Styrofoam and gasoline that makes a gooey mess and burn up all I hauled off. Leave the ribosomes in the turned up to dry over the the winter and spray everything with round up 8 weeks after it greened up in the spring. Then wait 3 weeks and start cutting off the green stuff ever week until it died. It might not green up in the Spring if you got a good rain the right mix of Round up and the Bamboo was growing good and storing nutrients and Roundup in the ribosomes. Some luck is involved it the process unless you irrigate. Gordon

information from the URL that tenbsmith posted. "Glyphosate One of the most common herbicides in use today is glyphosate (for example in Round-Up). This herbicide is often not effective against mosses (Woodfill 1999; Roberts and Ziegenhagen 1999; Newmaster et al. 1999) but does kill mosses in other cases (Newmaster et al. 1999). This chemical is absorbed through the leaves, becomes tightly bound to the soil, and is degraded by microbes. The failure of many common herbicides against mosses can be seen dramatically in some christmas tree plantations and other perennial crops where competing higher plants have been killed by herbicides, leaving a green carpet of mosses and other bryophytes. ---> The situations in which glyphosate does or does not kill mosses remain unclear I sprayed small area frist. All the moss did great. Then syrayed biger area and all the moss did great. Yesterday I sprayed a big area (use 10 gallons). In this area the moss was already somewhat brown. Here is a link that might be useful: Chemical Control of Moss in Lawns

Ken, I sprayed it like like twice a month few years ago. Trust me, it just laughs at me. I will see some small dead spots but it doesn't wilt at all. I've read other threads too saying Round-Up didn't kill their soapwort. Floral_uk, Yes, I dug it last year and it still came out this year but it's reduced which is a good sign. Yesterday, I dug it again and this morning. I used a fork like shovel. I was very shocked to see more roots. This plant is crazy! I'll do it again around May if I see more. I made it is I didn't leave anything behind today. We'll find out. Oh, it's the same as my daffodil. I've dug it so many times but every year it comes back. However, they are not as annoying as the Soapwort. I haven't tried RoundUp on daffodil though. They're beautiful and not aggressive. Thank you everyone!
