You read my mind Turbo... I use Glyphosate 41% (Round-up knock-off at Tractors Supply) as a contact killer for grass and normal weeds in a fence roll, remember anything it touches it kills. After one application of Glyphosate I have a 6" to 8" dead area on both sides of my fence (12" to 16" dead zone the complete length of my fence).....nothing growing there for the next two months or so. But on woody vines, sumac, poison ivy and trumpet vine I use any 2,4,D product. If mixed correctly 2,4D will kill the unwanted vines and saplings without killing/sterilizing the ground below the plant. I spray my fence roll, around my barn and right of ways twice a year with excellent results. My mix rate is one once of concentrate to one gallon of water. Fast, simple and effective. I recommend wearing some type of face mask and rubber gloves during the complete handling of these products....just my $0.02
I’ve read where it is most effective to spray in the early fall and the sap will be carried to the roots. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Good advice... and the most economical spray available. I often mix 41% glyphosate and 2-4-D Amine together depending on what I'm doing. I found Rural King to have the best prices in my area. I'll go through 10 gallons of concentrate this year. The key is no rain for a couple days or preferably longer with glyphosate... I mix 2.7 ounces per gallon of glyphosate and 1 ounce of Amine per gallon. Add a squirt of dish soap for a surfactant to stick on the plant.
I use Grazon Next to spray fence lines where I don’t viney stuff growing. I use it on thistles, Multiflora Rose, poison ivy & all sorts of other viney stuff. It is designed for pasture use so it won’t kill grass unless you mix it at a ridiculous rate. It will kill small trees if applied directly to them but I have sprayed near larger trees for vines & such and have never had a problem with it killing them.
2,4-D is one of the most common And effective broadleaf weed killers available. Dicamba, picloram, and Triclopyr are others that are effective, but need more caution applying them. Glyphosate (roundup) kills everything it touches. For fence rows, I would rather have grass growing under the wire than the weeds that grow up from bare soil.
This mix HDRock. ^^^ I mix a little stronger (maximum label rate) to help take care of the woody brush. If using 2,4,D make sure use wash your sprayer out and flush lines with ammonia. That stuff is hard on rubber parts.
Best Brush Killer 2020 - Reviews & Top Picks - HealthyHandyman I've always had luck with the Fertilome Brush and Stump Killer myself, but this is a good list.
I disagree- that ought to impress the HELL out of the neighbors..... I use a small tow- behind electric sprayer loaded with the usual ground clearing stuff, whatever is available at the local outdoor supply store (Round up or similar). Kills everything but trees as far as I have found.
That is for grass; not brush. It sometimes will work if you brush some on where you cut but use full strength. Better to start with a brush killer.
I've had fairly good luck with poison ivy/brusk killer in which triclopyr was a main ingredient. You do have to be careful what you spray with and what you spray it on intentionally and unintentionally, especially on a windy day, as like that which must not be mentioned aerosol can be carried away with not much assistance. Like, don't get it anywhere near tomatoes because that which does not kill them maims them in quite unflattering ways.
