(More customer reviews)This herbicide concentrate is over priced and not as good as QUIKPRO. Basically the latter is ROUNDUP plus an added plant killing ingredient. Here are the facts:
.
. . . 1. QUIKPRO contains 73.30% Glyphosate and 2.90% Diquat. Besides containing 1.9% more root-killing chemical, it has a second ingredient that rapidly disrupts cell integrity of photosynthetically active tissues in the leaves. Blades of grass and leaves turn brown within three days.
. . . . .The cheapest price for QUIKPRO is at Russo Power Equipment. I was able to purchase a 6.8 pound container for $70. At a dilution rate of 1.5 ounces/gallon of water, it calculates to $0.98/gallon of herbicide.
.
. . . 2. The most inexpensive herbicide is to mix a "home made solution" from cheap household products. For killing grass and sterilizing the soil as well, I mix a quarter cup of liquid laundry detergent and 2.0 pounds of salt in a gallon of water. DO NOT USE POWDER DETERGENT, it clogs up the sprayer.
. . . . .CASH AND CARRY of Seattle sells a 50 pound bag of salt at $5.90, and COSTCO sells a 1.3 gallon container of ECO LIQUID LAUNDRY DETERGENT at $13.89.
. . . . .This $0.32/gallon solution is applied via a hand-pump sprayer. The detergent removes the shiny protective waxy layer of the vegetation and forces it to quickly absorb the toxic solution. The detergent is also sticky. As a result, the salt sticks to the plant during drying. You can see the crystals of it on the blades of grass during a sunny day.
. . . . .Within an hour, it is curling. In one to two days, certain parts of the grass turn dark purple-black in color. Within a week, the area is brown. It is best to do spraying on a dry week in late July, for rain tends to wash off the dried saline and negate the killing process. When a summer shower does come later, the salt goes into the soil, attacks the grass roots, and sterilizes the ground.
.
. . . 3. For tough thorn-like plants such as black berry bushes, I mix 1.5 ounces of QUIKPRO and a cup of bleach into my "home made herbicide." At a $1.39/gallon, the herbicide is very potent. It usually takes two to three applications for a complete kill.
