I have a grassy bank that I wanted to plant bushes on, so I planned to
kill the grass there with glyphosphate, and after it died planted the bushes. I have now realised that I did not use glyphosphate but "Pathclear". I planted the bushes in large holes with lots of compost and watered them well and they seem OK at the mo. Will I get away with it or are they doomed? |

They were Ceanothus and cotoneasters. They have been in now about 10 days You may be lucky, they are both fairly hardy. It will probably do them more harm than good to move them again. I would keep them very well watered - a good soaking every day to wash any remaining weedkiller through. Harry |

Depends on the nature of your soil. The dose rate you applied. The amount of rain/watering after spraying. Depends if any of the treated soil went into the hole around the roots. I would be inclined to sink a pipe down to the roots of the plants, use a trowel and dig a small hole, put in a 3 or 4 inch pipe so that you can water directly to the roots, that way there is no chance of washing and chemical that may still be active down to the roots. With luck Also depends just what product you used, was it Scotts Pathclear gun, or was it Scotts Pathclear Weedkiller. They have quite different active ingredients. I would be inclined to phone Scotts technical dept. tomorrow (Monday) and get their advice, They are on 01483 410210 -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |
