Is this effective and safe for weeds, thistle, dandelion in juniper horizontalis, i.e. h. Wiltoni?

I can says for sure that it is effective for common flower bed weeds, but I'm not sure of the types. This contains the same active ingredient as roundup - so if that product kills it, this one should too.

This product worked for 6 months on Florida marshy vegetation, elephant ears, arrow heads, poison oak and some sedges. The stuff came back this summer and will require further applications.

Be careful NOT to get onto anything you don't wish to turn yellow and die. I use a spray bottle and very directly spray on the grass, weeds, etc. In my juniper covered slope. The younger the plant the easier it is to kill, so if the thistle is say 12" or taller, it will likely not die before it has spread its seeds for next year. This stuff takes a bit longer than roundup to show it has started to kill the plant.

I'm pleased with the product. It worked well early in the growing season, even before it got very warm. Its intended to kill everything and I primarily used it in my gravel pathways. You would not use it to spray weeds among other shrubery. In fact I got a little spray on an arbor videa, and its killing the tips of some of the branches. So it may not totally kill your junipers, but would likely do damage.

We have never had any problems with fish and Diuron 80. Have a one acre pond and it is the only weed control product I use. My grand children have been swimming occasionly with no ill effects. We do get geese and other water birds and it does not seem to be any problem for them.

Hi Frank, I'm afraid I don't know. I was recommended this Bayer product for Juniper mite and Juniper scale insect and it works really well for those, better than any English product I have used. Best wishes, Sally.

I've never tried using it with thistle seeds myself, but in principle it should work.

No. As far as I know It's the only product sold to consumers that will kill these tough weeds nut won't harm grasses. Hope this helps!

If label includes centipede grass, it will take two or more sprays about 2 weeks apart to kill it. It is safe on broadleaf plants so probably is okay on this juniper.

I don't know the effect this product have on other weeds. My problem was dandelions and today I haven't seen one grew back on my lawn. Look into other weed and feed products and the main weeds it controls. Hope this is helpful.

It didn't hurt any other plants but it didn't get rid of my weeds. I used it on my grass and near flowers and trees it might do well in a small area.

It was designed to pull broad leaf weeds like Dandelions which have a long tap root. Works pretty well especially if you get to the weeds when they are young. It is not 100%, it breaks off some roots if they are real long or the ground is hard. So it that is a concern use Crossbow spray.

Yes, Spurge is effective against dicotyledonous plants. I have not had any damage to my grass (Tall fescue, a monociot like all grasses) unless I used too high of an application rate. Check out your application rate on a small portion of your lawn, wait about 4 days and see if there is any damage. At my application rate I apply the herbicide once a week. No damage to my lawn even under these conditions. But, check your application rate first. I have killed some grass in my day.

I'm using it for thistle. I think the holes are too small for sunflower seeds unless they are out of the shells.

I use this product in my bird seed and the squirrels stay away. It is an oil and I don't know how it would work for veggies and flowers.

I'm not positive, but if the unwanted stalks share a root system with any of the wanted stalks, I would NOT use this product. I am able to kill all invasive ivy by spraying only the leaves, and it works down to the roots. I would say NO, to your question.

I've used this for two years to control wild bermuda grass that springs up and it works well. I have had absolutely no issues with it killing my tall fescue and bluegrass. Not sure what the others did, but I had no such problems. Using twice a year and the number of new spots I have needed to treat have decreased to just a couple.

I wouldn't buy this one for thistle...it will just fall out all over the place when the birds land on it....it is perfect for black oil sunflower though.

Hello I don't know about ivory. But I have had great success with Canadian Thistle. It's a tuff weed. This stuff will kill trees if used straight. I would try it. Thanks

I noticed weeds on our pavers dying within 3-4 hours. A couple days later they were all dried up and dead. As of right now, we still have no weeds! This stuff works amazing. However, be careful. I sprayed the edges of the pavers where the grass meets and about four inches of grass is now dead. Also, some flowers I planted later and closer to the edge of the beds are having difficulty taking off. I suspect that the weed killer got in the soil there. Still to not have weeds growing in our pavers for the entire growing season, I'm VERY happy. We used to spend lots of time/effort trying to keep up with them and the sidewalk looked horrible.
