There is an extremely nasty herbicide called Triox, marketed under Ortho as
'Total Vegetation Killer'. Please read the label and, if you decide to use
it, apply with caution. A flametorch works well and won't harm the
enviorment (unless it gets away from you) P

Hello Group:

I've recently brought a house in Southern California (gulp!). I'm now
*very* poor - and have promised my first child to the mortgage company!!

Seriously tho', the driveways, patio and the parkway areas are rather
overrun with weeds. I need to find an easy to apply herbicide to blitz
them - probably will need multiple blitzing.

When I lived in the UK I used to by a Scott's product called Pathclear -
the
active ingredient was a chemical called simazine. It was easy to use -
empty
one sachet to a watering can and water on!

I'd like to avoid the stuff that you dilute two dribbles in a cubic
furlong
of water and then spray on and would prefer the dilute one sachet in a
watering can and water on approach if poss.

Does the group have any recommendations for me?

Cheers

Den
