Of course they have about a gazillion burrs about grape+ size. Can someone tell me what will kill them? Been just cutting them off but they just come back stronger. Roundup, gasoline, diesel, used oil???? Want them things gone for good. Cut them and put the stuff on the stalks or put it on the plant? Thanks for any tips... Dave [Reply]   [No Email]

Pulling them up works better than cutting them and they"re quite easy to pull up. Just grab the stalk near the base of the plant.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Milestone also works well on lots of broadleaves. That being said, I have no idea of what you can get in the way of herbicides over there.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Can you buy 2,4-D in Germany? I like it better than Roundup because it doesn't kill the grass.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Have 2 yearlings on the place right now "mowing". When they finish on the weekend, we'll move them and I'll spray everything that isn't grass and see what happens. Thanks!   [Reply]  [No Email]

I use Roundup but you got to get them before they make burrs(seeds) and keep going after them. They can suck the fertilizer out of the ground before any other plant.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Spray with one pint of 24D lo-vol ester per acre before they start to set burrs. It won't kill the plants but they will not set any burrs so no seed for next year. At the 1 pint rate it won't kill your clover either, just curl it up for a few days. Joe   [Reply]  [No Email]
