Any product containing MCPA will kill this weed with one application. I've used MCPA alone on our dear friend Ranunculus repens, and I'm sorry to say that it doesn't have a 100% kill rate, not at all. I seem to get better results carefully hand-digging the damned stuff out. I suspect that this weed's seeds are very long-lived, so badly infested ground may produce new seedlings for many years even if you carefully removed it, by chemical or by hand. -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada |

"Brian Walker" wrote in message 98... Hi , I have a large lawn which is infested with creeping buttercup. The soil quality/drainage is poor and drainage enhancement would be a major undertaking. Is there a selective weedkiller available which would kill or control this weed? -- You've just explained why you have creeping buttercup - it is an excellent indicator of such conditions. If you get rid of the buttercups by spraying or any other means, those conditions remain and precious little else will grow there - certainly not much grass. Sorry, if you can't learn to love the buttercups you have to do something about the conditions. Rod |
