| Hi all
I am sure that there was a post (can't find it) with someone looking for 1 litre lots of Fusillade in Perth.
Someone recommended it in a story I wrote for the local paper and now everyone wants small quantities of it and is emailing me to find it. As we rosies know, it is the only chemical that will kill couch around roses without knocking off the roses.
Can anyone please help me track it down
regards Deryn

Weedkillers and roses. Hmmn , could say a lot about what a spiteful ex husband can do with them. Fusilade I just know as broadacre chemical, interesting to hear people are using it in their gardens. Glyophosphate has always been my preferred option, cheap and so easy to use. Why are people so phobic about using through their rose gardens.
No one suggests you spray it on your rose bushes.
If you go out on a breezeless period, and keep your spray wand very close to the ground, (or undergrowth) there will be no drift. As far as a wetting agent goes, in my 5litre sprayer , I put in a GOOD squirt of a thickish dish detergent like Morning Fresh, a good squirt of a strong food colouring like cochineal, (so you can see where you have been) and a good measure of a soluble plant fertiliser. If you are not killing weeds through a soil poison, then the fastest action is in rapidly growing matter. Hence the dose of a nitrogen rich foliar fertiliser. Look on it as a kind of Last Supper. Works every time for me. |

How wonderful to know someone else does the exact things as I do, I cannot afford Fusillade so just use the
$10 a litre ones with Morning Fresh in it and cochineal food colouring so I can see the water level. If I only spray the weeds how does the glyophosphate get below the soil to the roots as some say. I agree with you, only spray when there is no breeze and spray on the weed itself I have never lost any plant with drifting Glyophosphate, so works for me too... I used to do a lot of hand weeding, now I don't do anything as the rose beds are so thickly covered with sugar cane mulch no weed grows through...I will never use lucerne again as a mulch as I had weeds galore....MM. |

| Oh hello again Misty Morn. Aaaah. In the hope that you can accept the views of a Mexican, Glyphosate kills by chasing through the entire plant, roots and all. It gets there through transmission to the roots. The facts are: It has been proven that intersecting roots from other plants will be contaminated from those bearing glyphosate. |

| Bad start for this beautiful morning Lozza ....seeing this here from you.....Well up here I use it all the time mostly on my driveway but and I have not killed anything but weeds. Even when I lived in Melbourne I used it with no problem. Facts I dont live by facts. I live by what happens in my garden not something you read, you are always tossing these things at me.. Go pick on someone else for a change... |

| Deryn, I posted a long time ago that wesfarmers (Landmark) now carry it. They might still. There is another product which seems to be as good if not better, as it kills some other types of grasses. If your interested, try a site called Pestgenie, you will have to become a user, best site ever to see about chemicals and other related subjects, Hpoe this will help, Regards David. |
