Thinking along same lines as vegegrower in his post, would a butane
weed flame gun have any effect on Mares Tail?

I knew someone who claimed to have defeated mares tail with SBK. Took
a few years though.


What is SBK, please?


A liquid systemic brushwood killer. The plant takes it in through the
leaves, so don't spray just before rain.

We used a lot of it when we had our last house with a very large and some
overgrown garden.

Some plants with shiny leaves need to have an adhering agent mixed into the
SBK, we used a small amount of paraffin
