    A customer told me about Weed Zap. Organic non selective herbicide being used in America available here. Told was expensive but worked. US$30 LT. I read the label and even though its organic the same safety/ preventive measures apply as if you 're using glyphosate. I used to be on the organic trip but in the commercial environment and peoples expectation to have things happen now!!,I have turned fully chemical.

    Ive used Richgro beat a weed a bit and it works quite well, its a acid/salt spray available at the Bunnies, says its a natural product but use protection. Use it mainly as a preventer ie spray weeds when there 1cm tall.

    There's this which I've mentioned before but I still haven't been out to grab some to try. I'd be charging customers a hell of a lot more if using this though as it's mixing ratio is 1 part solution to 3 parts water and would need spraying a lot more often for some weeds and grasses

    About $176 plus shipping but 20 litres only makes 80 to 100 litres total depending on the mixing ratio.

    Will Australia follow? I bloody hope not, worlds worst bloody terrorists concerned about weed spraying. I think maybe they could spend some better time and money worrying about their gun laws.

    Probly, the amount of things de-registered in pest control should follow thru to ag and turf stuff, All it comes down to is labour intensive work which takes longer and costs more, tell the customers that...yeah right..
