Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an intergral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on it's evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I live in Arizona, so when I’m spraying for weeds, I don’t have to worry about the bees so much. There’s no flowers on our weeds, and it’s just rocks and dirt.
However, since I’ve done home repairs for quite a while now, and I have taken care of my mother’s property slowly, if you’re not using poison, it’s really hard to kill weeds.
I use killzall. You can get it on Amazon, Home Depot, or ace hardware. It’s really expensive, but you don’t have to use a lot because it’s a concentrate. It’s the best weed killer I’ve ever had and used. I just ordered some and it came in the mail a couple days ago.
I received a small bottle from a yard guy who used to do our yard, he had a little left, so he gave it to me. It’s been the best. But it kills everything anything that touches it will kill.
Good luck with the weed, cause they can be a real pain in the you know what
Ronstar is a good pre-emergent my landscaper recommends and used on our extensive landscape.
Thanks I looked it up online, I’m saving the page
Does this kill the weeds permanently? I'm in North Carolina and we might just have every weed that's in existence. It's an old family property. Except for my yard the rest is weeds. My grandfather planted crabgrass decades ago for ground cover. It's impossible to pull up, roots are long and spread out. My husband and dad (my neighbor) use roundup because it's the only thing that works. I know it's bad and I'm not a fan but can't have weeds taking over.
Just like the name says it kills all! Any vegetation that it touches it will kill it. But when I spray for weeds in my yard, which is all rocks because I live in Arizona, I don’t you spray the weeds were there coming up, I spray the entire yard with all the rocks. But I focus on where the rocks meet the cement, that’s where a lot of weeds tend to sprout up. But as long as you’re covering the entire area, in a few days, it’ll start dying off. Then it’s just clean up after that. But yes, crabgrass can be really nasty unless you’re going to get some type of Rototiller and tear up your entire yard. This killzall should work. I think it’s 30 bucks for a quart. It says 2 1/2 teaspoons per gallon, but I put in 4 1/2. Lol.
