Hedge growth inhibitor
 
Can you still buy this stuff? I'm fed up of trimming my privet and
laylandii hedges. It was sold as "Cutlass" but I can't find it
anywhere. Has it been banned by the EU along with many other garden
chemicals. The active ingredient is dikegulac sodium.

........ "don't have hedges" ? Alternatives? Fences or walls. But then
we will have to 'grow' something over them. Oh! Like ivy? ;-))

........ Why "especially Leylandii" ?
Our privet grows much, much more quickly than the leylandii.

Haven't heard much about 'growth inhibitors' recently. Either out of
fashion, or legislated out, I guess.

the stuff you want is Scotts' Cutlass but its on the banned lists for at
least one council (just a quick search) so I presume all.

Agreed - but they were there when I bought the house and it would be
one hell of a job to revove them now.

I rang the company this morning as I have been looking for more supplies, they said they do not make it anymore as it was too expensive to make for the amount of sales

Yes. Whether it is sane or not is another matter entirely.

I read it stopped manufacture because it cost too much to have it pass eu test regulations etc. I've got one bottle of cutlass left,I bought 4 when I read it was not to be around much longer.125ml sorts my privet to one cut in may,neighbours privet 3 cuts so I'm looking for an alternative.
