Hi,

Would any of you recommend or warn against using a suitable solution

of
Jeyes Fluid to deter grass and weeds growing alongside wood?

A friend has suggested it would be better to use Jeyes than usual
weedkillers because Jeyes, he says, is oily and it will help preserve
the adjacent wood (by keeping moisture out of it).

Any thoughts?


Apart from being not recommended, not legal, dangerous to cats and
unlikely to do as you wish, I don't see a problem.

I definitely would not use Jeys Fluid. You could shield the wood from
weedkiller with newpaper, but I do not think that that is necessary
unless plants need protecting. Simply apply the weedkiller as per
instuctions on the container.
