A neighbour used a proprietary selective weedkiller on their lawn,

strength in the factory.


Is it just me, or is it a real pain getting the conditions right,
especially for the powders?

Not too dry, not raining, but rain soon enough to wash it in, not
within 4 days either side of cutting, calm enough that it doesn't
blow across the garden...
