Visited the typical stores..no off the shelf broadleaf spray for beds, only for lawns I surmise this is because most "bed" plants are broadleafed. Broadleaf "weed" poisons, including "weed and feed" products, are bad if you have any plants in your yard other than grasses ( for examlpe trees, shrubs, or flowers). While they may not kill the largest plants, they will weaken them or stunt their growth. It is useful to remember that "a weed is a plant out of place". There is no biological definition nor signature of a weed and so no "weed killer" poisons only weeds. ...have aggressive growth of clover I need to kill off..any suggestions that will NOT hurt new plantings of the ivy?? I think clover is a nitrogen fixer (it's a legume). Therefore it might be a good temporary cover crop. I doubt clover will survive once the asian jasmine gets established. When we bought our house there was asian jasmine under the oak and elm trees. I think asian jasmine gets a bad rap sometimes. Once established it is low in maintenance and tolerant of varying conditions. It can be agressive, but there are many other plants that are more aggressive and destructive. One a year maintenance (which we don't do) should keep it under control. jjhnsn |
