Seriously, I think you know the answer, if you follow the manufactors instructions, nothing should be too dangerious. BTW, you might want to reply with what your intentions are, meaning plant you want to kill, and how much. later, tom **************** http://www.Intertainia.com *********** Our Latest site: http://www.MedicalJobList.com ************************************************** ***** |

I would just follow the recommended application rates and keep the dog off the lawn until it is dry. I have never seen anything, other than very uninformed, subjective, anecdotal reports that show weed spray to affect anything other than weeds in the 50+ years that it's been on the market. Peter H |

S2 Ah, I missed this part. If they are eating the plants after spraying I would be careful. What about whacking the weeds with a weedeater until just the bases are left and then hit 'em with the weed spray. Peter H |

I know that I am going to cause a stir here but here goes. A hand held spray
bottle of gasoline works great when set at stream setting It's quite accurate. Obviously, the method is ecologically unfriendly and unhealthy for careless folks. But it works and leaves little or no residue after 4 hours. Even at $2 a gallon, it's economically feasible. Sorry to cause a stir. "Stuart" wrote in message ...

Ya but . . I agree with the informed folks who replied, but please consider
that an effective crabgrass preventer is long blade turf. That is to simply say that the neighbors who have the most crabgrass over the years are those who mow their lawn too short. A denser /longer turf shades out and helps deny germination. Just a thought. Once again, I don't contradict the wisdom of the nice gardeners who replied. Mine is just and add on.

Round-up is about the most benign herbicide on the market. It is a
glyphosate salt which is absorbed by the leaves and is transported to the root system and kills the plant by interfering with it's ability to uptake water by reversing normal osmotic flow (just as would pouring normal table salt on the roots). The worst thing that is likely is that if an animal ate a really large amount of material that had been sprayed it might experience some abdominal discomfort and perhaps some diarrhea or vomiting (much like what would happen if the animal drank too much slightly salty water). I would think that this would be pretty unlikely as the pet would have to eat a lot more plant material than most are likely to want to eat.
