weeds?</div> <bR> <div> To control weeds we first need to identify the plant.  A weed is considered an undesirable, unattractive or troublesome plant growing where it is not wanted.  This could mean flowers growing in a field of bermuda grass or bermuda grass growing in a bed of flowers.  So after we identify what it is, then we can go about treating it. The following is list of products and plants they control.</div> <div> <B>Grazon P+D</B>= control of broadleaf annual or perennial leafs at a rate of 1-2 pints/acre.  Some of these weeds include ragweed, cocklebur, goatweed, smooth crabgrass, curly dock and dandelion. </div> <div> <B>Weedmaster®</B>= to control a variety of weeds, trees and vines including cocklebur, curly dock, nightshade, mustard, pigweed, ragweed, thistle just to name a few.</div> <div> <B>Amine 2,4 D</B>= commonly used to control goatweed at 2 pints per acre.  Also controls bitterweed, bull thistle, cocklebur, dandelion, ragweed and wild onion just to name a few.</div> <div> <B>Ally®</B>= bahia grass, goatweed, curly dock, dandelion and pigweed are just a few of the weeds this product controls.</div> <div> <B>Roundup® = </B>a non-selective herbicide used to control most actively growing weeds.  This product needs to be used with caution because it can also easily kill desirable plants.</div> <div> <B>Finale</B>= Another non-selective herbicide.  Use with the same caution as Roundup.  Does not translocate through the root system though.</div> <div> Oraganic Products= products that can be used include corn meal, humic acid, vinegar and corn gluten meal.  Read labels carefully.  Some are pre-emergent products and others may kill desirable plants if used to heavy.  But this is true for chemical methods also.    </div> <div> My quote of the week comes from a Chinese proverb.  It reads "The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it."</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
