I wanna kill dock, thistle, sorrell..

[greybeard]

without killing common bermuda and St Augustine. Residential setting, so probably be spraying with wand and backpack sprayer.
Recommendations for a 'one-size-fits-all' herbicide?
Cost is no object..using my kid's future inheritance

2,4-d

Got it. Amine will work?

Any idea how much to mix with 5 gals of water?

 

[1982vett]

Well... I mix like I would for pasture so at the rate of a quart per acre using 20 gallons of water comes to 8 oz. of 2,4-d Amine and 5 gal. of water.


That would do 1/4 acre...so adjust as needed for your lot size.

That should/would be pretty close, as my lot is 1/3 ac but I have to account for the house footprint.
Thank you!

I do a lot of spot sparying with my little 25gal tank, with Spectracide.
It contains 2-4d, is cheap and does a great job on cuckleburs, and thistles, (1oz/gal)
