roundup

Would i do any damage to a new laurel hedge if i covered them with plastic while i spray the grass around them. As long as no roundup gets on the plant, they should be ok or would spraying so close to the plant damage them?

I've been spraying roundup on some blackberries that keep coming back in my hedge, doesnt seem to do the hedge any harm and in the long run the blasted blackberries either!!

Roundup is a contact systemic weedkiller, it has the possibility of damaging your hedge so you are very prudent to cover it up, the covering up wont do the hedge any harm at all at all!!

when you are spraying weedkiller make sure that roundup doesnt go on laurels hedge leaves,

Make sure thats its a calm day too.

Roudup spray residue will carry in any sort of breeze and will wipe out any other plants,shrubs or hedging,if you are not carefull with spraying it.

Your neighbours garden too.

I wish whoever sprayed, whatever it was they sprayed, had thought to cover my poor rasberries and take care on my alotment.

Mucky, i have been trying to destroy invasive raspberries for about five years without chemicals. The blighters are up again this year. If you want any, and are in cork let me know in the next week. Cos I am going to have to resort to the spray to allow anything else in the patch grow at all.
