Can this be used to kill the grass in a strawberry bed?

It's safe for the plants. However, I think I would err on the side of caution and not use it when the berries are fruiting.

It most certainly can. So far as I know it is quite safe and will not harm strawberries.

Do not use the product on or near edibles. We suggest keeping applications at least 24 inches away from and out of the root zone of any edibles or edible-bearing plants.

I would expect that this product wouldn't harm your strawberries. However, to be on the safe side, I would suggest that you consult your local Nursery.

I have a large ground cover bed where that tall thin grass stalks sprouted up and thru the ground cover...I sprayed the stalks of grass above the ground cover and in a couple of days, the grass died and the ground cover did just fine...you might call Ortho and inquire for use over strawberry patch...Ortho is very helpful.

I have used it on bluegrass, fescue, perennial rye grass mix. As others have said, the point is it kills sedge, not grass.

As with anything left on top of a lawn for extended periods of time, yes, it can kill the grass. We had it up for a special birthday gathering for 2 days, and there was no lasting damage to the lawn or surrounding plant life.

I used 2 oz per gallon to kill blackberries (Himalaya) and salmonberries. It did an adequate job but I was late getting it sprayed. It should even better next spring to finish the job.

No. This is a hoe. Works best in loose, friable soil. Might work well in a bed next to a lawn, but won't work at all to remove weeds from a lawn, or to tear up an established lawn.

I would say yes, if it will take out the big bull thistle here in TX I think it will remove strawberries

Yes, it kills Johnson Grass. http://www.fertilome.com/product.aspx?pid=739663cc-2dc8-40e4-a92a-7338e3c1cad6. The link points to a page with pdf files for this product.

I wouldn't use it in my yard, I just use it to kill weeds around our 4 acres, but not in the yard, it would kill your grass also!

It kills anything it touches including grass. Don't use on a windy day. Works all season. I purchased this last year. Only thing i found that works.

this will kill grass as well as weeds. Kills everything. (Ortho weed-b-gone the best for weeds in lawn)

Yes I believe it will work. I haven't used it for that purpose but other plants with similar growth patterns.....the lateral growth of strawberries certainly takes more effort and just a little practice with this weeder.

I have marathon grass and it did not kill the grass. It was somewhat effective in killing the oxalis but it never killed it completely.

Maybe if the roots are down deep enough to escape the poison. I tried to kill grass around some sedum plants. It didn't do anything to the grass, but almost killed the sedums.

It can and I use it to cut my fescue, but I wouldn't recommend it for that, especially if the grass is longer.

This product doesn't kill plants. It only keeps seeds for new ones from germinating. I wouldn't recommend it for keeping weeds out of lawns, though. It is like orange paint; it will color the lawn, and it is expensive. I use it to keep weeds out of flower beds where perrenials are growing.

I would doubt it. This kills grass and weeds well although there are some "tough" weeds that require a higher concentration. I've used it to kill weeds in ground cover evergreens where it gets the needs but not the evergreens (they may brown a little for a time). Maybe if you used a much higher concentration than recommended for weeds?

This product is non selective. It will kill both of the grass and weeds. The Weed B Gone Clover is not very effective to kill the weeds. Does anyone know the more effective weeds killer that the professional lawn care services use?
