Is it selective? I want to use it next to a holly and some other
bushes.

You have to be very careful, it is absorbed by any green parts of a
plant
which is in active growth, if you use a sprinkle bar instead of spray
and
protect the things you want to keep first, you can still use it. If you
have an accident, you need to cut off the bit that you got it on or
drench
with water.

Thanks for that. I can see I will need to think very carefully how/if I
use
it!

Ophelia, Ray has a long transparent tube with a cross piece at the bottom
with a sort of horizontal wick on it that goes just a little up into the
tube. The tube is then filled with the weed killer, which soaks into the
wick and he dabs at offending weeds with it, so there is no spray. I
really must take a photo of it but I feel sure that your personal handyman
could make one for you! It's much the safest way to attack individual
weeds in a border, for example.

Yes I am sure he could Thanks
