2,4 d -- how long to wait till planting tomato plants


[ Expand ] [ View Replies ] [ Add a Reply ] [ Return to Forum ]

Posted by bob In SD on May 17, 2016 at 08:27:13 from (137.216.208.116):

The wife loves to plan her garden, but isn't too much on execution. She normally gets around to spraying last years mess with Glyph about now. She then tosses in a bunch of plants from the nur$ery, ignores it till June, then tries to recover with more Glyph. The result after three years of this is a 60"x48" thistle patch in the middle of my pasture. This year she decided to not bother (yeah!), and I sprayed the whole mess (knee high thistles, stinging nettles, even a few cottonwood trees) with 2,4 d. The 2,4 d was older and I used 2 oz/gal in a hand sprayer (forget exact label, about 50% inert, 50% combo of the 2,4 d salts/acid). Thistles really looked sick the next day, so I may have overdone it (I'm used to wondering for a week or more if they look damaged, etc). Plan is to mow it regularly and maybe spot spray again in the fall, and put off any serious gardening until next year. I considered using the glyph this weekend, but didn't want it bare (-> thistles) all summer and didn't want to put in a large garden this year. I'll probably use some of that space for potatoes, tomatoes, sugar-snaps, and hot peppers in future years, but won't have time for much this year.

Given that I've already sprayed the 2,4 d:


If I want to use it as a vegetable garden next year, should I not spray 2,4 d in the fall?

If I wanted to stick a few tomato plants somewhere this year, is that area off limits (both from killing the plants and poisoning my family)?

I'd rather not burn down yet more grass, but if I did go that way how long should I wait after spraying Glyph (in a different area)?

Thanks,
