    Online these likely have it

    magentadirect.ie
    agridirect.ie
    fanevalleystores.co.uk

    Most likely any decent ag merchant will carry it also

    Would it stain the tank of the sprayer if not washed out real well. €20 for 1 litre ain't too bad either

    Didn't stain mine anyway, it washes away itself off the sprayed area after a couple of days. It's quite good I thought.

    Good to hear. Might be a worth while investment here as I could do with a bit of spot spraying.

    Would you be able to see it on rushes con. Have blue stuff here I used on the stumps of bushes after cutting them but never tried it on anything else.

    Never used it on rushes, I used it spraying low furze, could see it on them. If the rushes had white tops I'd say no problem, if they're young and all dark green then I don't know.

    Was thinking about this last night. Would this destroy a tractor if it got on the paint work? Seeing as its hard got off skin?

    I've just bought one of these:
    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NBS-BIRU-Blue-Pond-Lake-Dye-1-Pack-for-50-000-Litres-of-Water-Free-Delivery-/181386043222?pt=UK_HomeGarden_Garden_PondsWaterFeatures_UK&hash=item2a3b735f56

    We'll see what it's like when it arrives.

    If you hear tell of strange sightings of a Smurf in the midlands over the summer, you'll know it's all gone wrong :D

    ya i used it with knapsack sprayer on a block of those wiry small b4stard rushes, it was very useful as its impossible to tell after a short time what you have sprayed otherwise

    This is the stuff I use. It works a treat. A small drop goes a long way. I use it even in the weed licker to see where I've been. Use gloves as is does what it says - it marks everything.:rolleyes:

    €18.75 for 500ml.

    I don't think so & would hope not, if you know what I mean. It's very easy tumble one on either farm.

    Spent the last Twp days on the knapsack.
    Ye could just wander for hours around spraying weeds. And I've only done the few fields around the house :0
    Ah well I might as well keep at it. I've feck all else to be doing and I'll have a nice grin when I see no weeds around the spot :)

    Grazon 90. Been here since last year so said I'd use it. Everything :D thistles docks nettles briars. And anything I don't like the look of.

    Had lad here today from kk and every year around April he gets a lad in t and he sprays every field for weeds.
    Uses hurler at 1pint/acre. Says its much better than pastor or grazon or doxstar or any of them and a lot cheaper
