Tom Bullweed Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Anyone else notice that the shelves for herbicides at your local big box hardware store now have a Bayer label? These are the same guys that make baby aspirin. What is the relationship between these two product lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheyenne Culpepper 32827 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 When the weeds can attain a "green card" and be productive, nutrient giving, non-parasitic part of the lawn...........then welcome to the lawn. If not then, go back to the neighborhood that you have turned into dirt and tumbleweeds. then those weeds are called 'Flowers"... I like flowers.... sometimes they act as a fence, for instance Marigolds have so much pollen and such that rabbits stay away from them... and out of the veggies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explain to me how a crop can be grown that is toxoc to insects but "has no effect" on humans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 High Yield Killzall from Ace Hardware. Does a good job and doesn't cost what some better known brands do. About $45.00 a gallon. Warter resistant after two hours, per safe after 4 hours. Gallon does about a half acre. 2.5 oz to a gallon. Two more days and I'll have my plot done.

Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 One thing to remember, ignore weeds, and soon they will take over and control your lawn. Many lawns are now in the hands of weeds and overgrowth is spreading to adjoining lawns. Some even are in denial, thinking they do good. Just remember, its harder to get your lawn back in shape by ignoring their growth and expansions. Especially if you think they will stay in your neighbors yards.

Krazy Kajun Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 And we all know how well fences do in keeping out weeds from adjoining yards....even the tall ones built to gubmint specs. Kajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 A "Weed" can also be any plant growing were not wanted or undesirable. When I first Leased a long term contract on some land that had been neglected for decades. There were wild trees, Willows, and Elms that had to be cut down, and in some cases, we dynamited the stumps out. Those trees would not have been welcomed in our first years crop of Winter Wheat. So to Farmers, weeds aren't only what's in the lawn, but also in the fields. MT Yep...a rose in the wrong place is just another weed with thorns. On the other hand, a lot of what are usually considered weeds can feed us pretty well if we know how to use them. Yarrow, thistle, dandelions, cattails, mallow, queen ann's lace, purslane, to name just a few that can fairly easily provide food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocWard Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Diversionary misdirection! I thank all of you!! Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! Robert Frost? kR Yes, a favorite. The particular portion I quoted is a favorite of cross country and trail runners I know. It is even on the back of a couple of cross-country meet tee shirts at our house. Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening BY ROBERT FROST Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
