What weedkiller do you use and how good are the results? I have a bit of marestail to kill off.

good luck - I know people who have tried to kill marestail for 20 years... still trying! I tried sterilising the soil with marestail its the only thing that came back in 3 weeks

Never had it before but I think it came in with a load of hardcore so I'm trying to keep it at bay while it's still in a relatively small area.

marestail = kurtail= no marestail
Don't worry about the price it's worth every penny

Kurtail may need to be used several times if the roots have got a hold, and if the roots are under buildings paths etc it still doesn't clear it out completely but it will keep it in check

Thanks. I've heard of this from someone else who was chuffed with the result. Is it only available by mail order?

actually I'm not sure if just anyone can get it, I can get it through my business but I have to declare I have a chemical ticket before it is sent out. You may have to register with a wholesale provider such as LBS plastics
