Does it kill all the way to the roots?

No. Only the greenery on top. We didn't even use the whole container. Will not reorder.

I believe it can/does, but, depending on the weed, a second application may certainly be needed.

I used this stuff on a 20 x 48' hoophouse pad. According to the label this should have been more than enough to cover this area. The weeds in question were crabgrass, Poa annua, sedge and yellow nutsedge. Area had been mowed to about 3.5" before treatment. Results: all or part of the crabgrass was killed out in the areas where I sprayed @ 2x the recommended rate; areas sprayed at the recommended rate saw mostly top-kill of the grasses with no noticeable effect on the sedges. Verdict: not up to the task, at least in my garden.

Not really I used a few months ago and my roots don't look any darker, if you do it would be really subtle and you could just spray and it would go away!

Depends on the flower, but yes it will kill most vegetation that is not a type of grass.

If you get in on grass or your floweres it will kill them. I've used it on areas that are strictly weeds for the most part or not close to other vegetation I don't want to kill.

We used it to kill our entire back lawn including weeds. It worked very well. It does need a lot of vinegar and a lot of hot sun, if possible. I had to re-treat a couple of spots, but they succumbed in due season.

Hello Richard, I used the product straight from the container on the roots of English Ivy. It killed some of the roots but not all of them. The area I used it on had not other vegetation so it could not cause harm to other plants. I didn't need to add any water to it. AE

I am not familiar with that plant, but I expect Tordun RTU to be able to kill it, roots and all, as it has killed every type of tree, bush and invasive plant I have cut and applied it to the stump thereof.

I just sprayed the leaf area. My fear is that over spraying would kill everything in the area. Spraying the upper area seemed to be sufficient.

Yes I recommend this. I got big buds from using this. Just don't try to overdo it or you'll burn the roots.

It will kill everything, it's very effective. I put it in a sprayer and spot spray all my weeds in and around the plants I want to keep. But if you get them on the ones you want, it will kill them too. Be careful.

No - it works best on a permanent path such as gravel or brick. Also, deep rooted plants like dandelion are not always killed by flame weeding.

It can, but the roots will eventually dip into the water, become over hydrated, dragon claw and die. If you want a DIY aeroponics, look for the 4in square fence post instructions that are floating around on the internet ;-)

This product will kill any kind of vegetation you spray. However, that is only if you directly spray them. Spraying pest around them and spraying the soil will have no effect on these plants. It Only kills what is directly sprayed.

Tordon RTU Stump Killer will kill the stump ... but it may kill sensitive plants and trees nearby. I lost an established Hickory tree in this way. Just be careful with it by using very small amounts on the stump you want to kill.

It states on the package the product will defoliate any plant. As for actually "killing" the grass, roots and all, I would suspect not. It'll certainly damage the turf, and likely kill patches. But I don't know if I would rely on it to kill an area of turn in preparation for a planting bed, or something of that nature. By the same token, spraying weeds within your lawn will certainly result in turf loss in the areas sprayed.

I find that once draining is slow due to the main line from the house to the alley, it is a little too late. My experience is that it will kill the roots, but last time I used it, about a month later, due to a back-up, I called a plumber and he used his router to remove dead roots from the line through the clean-out in the back yard. I have never been able to prove that the product will actually remove the roots, only kill them.We have huge Eucalyptus trees nearby with aggressive roots, so as a maintenance routine, I tend to alternate every six months between this product and copper sulfate to fight those roots that keep coming back.

No. The vinegar only does top kill, not systemic kill like roundup. Lots of weeds also propagate by rhizomes, so top kill doesn't affect them as much. I switched to a stronger vinegar solution for the reasons you are stating. I ended up buying glacial acetic acid (98% vinegar and very very caustic), and making a 50+% solution which did more thorough killing of difficult weeds like plantain, burdock, etc. Vinegar is something you will need to periodically reapply. It's the trade off for not having toxic monsanto chemicals in your ground/food!!
