    Grazon 90, will only kill scrub and not grass, otherwise you'll end up with all sorts of rubbish growing next year that roundup does not kill.

    Pastor does the job here, but if you have nothing near them that you done mind killing roundup them

    Seems you can I heard greengrass saying in other posts that someone told him it does a better kill on weeds and grass, I think he was doing it himself. Would the roundup itself not kill the briars? I know that roundup wouldn't be great on bracken.

    Well roundup kills grass and grazon 90 kills briars. Did you check the label for ingredients of both and see sometimes it tells you what sprays can be mixed with other sprays. I'm 99% sure you can mix them.

    It will, I did a good lot of them with Gallup at 20:1 last year where I had cut bushes a few years back and they are toast. Saying that though I prefer grazon, place looks like a bomb site after using glyphosate.

    I dont know but just from reading here i thought roundup et al was too fast acting for briars and scrub. I tried a bit of grazon pro (90) and great kill

    Thanks for all your replies lads, I think I'll go for grazon 90 and see how I get on .
