Hi all,

On the ongoing saga of clover in my buffalo lawn, I re-sprayed the
clover
on
Saturday afternoon with Bindii and clover killer in nice clear skies
only
to
have to pour down with torrential rain about 2 hours later....

I'm assuming the rain will have washed away the poison but before I go
and
do this again (and probably kill my grass into the bargain) I was just
wondering if the poison would have been washed away?

Any ideas?

Hi there
Yeah it probably would have been washed away, these type of chemicals act
on
the leaves, not really the roots so it would have washed into the soil and
became useless.
However I too would be worried at doubling up on the grass, just in case
it
did take some in within that 2 hrs.
Safest option would be to check the packaging and if it says not to spray
within "X" amount of hours before rain, some being up to 24hrs, then yeah,
it won't work, otherwise it may be rainfast.
Failing that, water it well, see if any clover dies/yellows within next 3
weeks, and if it doesn't yellow at all, re apply, but again, it's in your
hands, I accept no responsibility for loss of buffalo :-)

Good luck

Yeah, thanks Andrew.

I checked the bottle and it doesn't say anything about rain - just to not
mow it for 2 days!

We ended up getting quite a bit of rain, so I'm assuming the poision has had
little effect, but I'll give it some time and try again.

Thanks for the info.

Ciao,
Dave.
