Hello, I have 5-6ft Kochia weeds to get down will this do it? They have some thick stems some about 1" thick

I don't know the plant, but you might be changing the lines a lot. I would get a bicycle handle brush cutter with a metal blade--Stihl or other--price is roughly comparable. The brush cutter will cut anything you've got short of trees. elw

Sorry, I have river rock in the yard and pesky wild geranium that spreads. Did an OK job, but I think the weed is winning.

No. This is the reason that I purchased this item. I've had no problems with cutting what I need to. It totally depends on what you are cutting. I've cut plenty of plants up 1/4" or larger, but this is generally not very hard wood/plant stems, etc.

Depends on temperature and what your target weeds are. Read the fold out on the container. It's pretty explicit. but, don't expect this stuff to work. It used to be a wonderful product but something, I suspect the EPA, happened to it.

I would stay about 6-10 inches away from anything you don't want to kill. I have placed this stuff very close to trees and it does not seem to "creep" very much. It does require rain or some sort of moisture to "activate" the granuales. The specs say that it makes about a 6 inch barrier for weeds so I would keep 6-10 inches from anything you don't want to kill. My experience shows the product to be effective for more than 1 year, but less than 2.

If your grass or in my case weeds are not really high it's not very hard to push. The higher the grass the harder it is to push

I can only guess that it will. The shape is different than what I had too, but this stuff works great in heavy weeds. I use it in a walk behind trimmer and I have been well pleased.

I guess that it will work. I cut x's into the weed barrier for about 10 plants in a raised bed. Weeds were able to grow around the base of the plants, and also at the edges of the wall. I used the long staples to hold the barrier in place. Nothing grew in the uncut area of the barrier.

I use it for weeds in my dwarf mondo grass with no problem. Not sure about anything else though.

Yes, however; it will go over if you extend too much. Move the unit closer to the plants.

No good on soft stems/flowers. Very short blade. I would use a hedge cutter.

It's best if you can be patient enough to let it wither away like you do when you use weed killer. Depending how much you have, you certainly can pull it out though and then reseed.

should work fine... I use it for small to 2.5 inch Oleander branches(medium hardness)

Deep tap roots could be a problem. I Have Arizona sandy adobe soil (caliche, hard as brick) and a lot of common mallow grew up. It handled up to a 4 Inch tap root on medium growth, but much longer than that it couldn't pull out. If you have a loamier soil, I think it would pull up most anything short of a shrub. What it is really good for, is pulling dandelions and crabgrass out of your lawn and garden. In a fairly well managed yard and garden, it can keep you off your knees, but if you have a real big job especially with hard rocky soil, you will still end up with shovel and or weed killer needed. I'm not sure what an autumn olive bush is, but if it is small enough to get the tongs over and the soil is soft enough, it might, but it is a weeding tool, you couldn't use it successfully on scrub oak higher than a foot tall if that or blackberries other than small individual still tender plants. Basically my answer is no, I don't think so. But there are some variables that could make it work: root type, soil type and size of plant.

Depending upon the weed types (tough to kill or not), you could try anywhere from a 1 to 3 to a 1 to 6 ratio. I used 1 to 6 and was able to spray everything that needed killin' on my suburban 80 x 120' Florida lot. The odor is very powerful, like you'd crushed 1000 orange peels in your yard. By the next day most weeds were wilted and black. Within 3 or 4 days, they were gone. It's much like a high concentration of acetic acid (vinegar). It burns the weed from the ground up. Hope it works ok for you. TX MP

go to "Pramitol 5ps, 2 Lbs" on Amazon. It gives directions/ sq ft and also has some reviews you'd be interested in. I had to double the application for a rock covered area that didn't really have a lot of weeds at all. It was early season so weeds hadn't come yet. I cannot stress enough that a complete water right after is essential.

That might be true for some types of weeds. Or if you didn't follow with compost. I have found that the combination of using this tool and then applying 2 inches of compost to work very well.
