    Spraying weeds and some grass at the minute. Is it a good idea to mix them or not. It’s mainly weeds.

    Why??
    Round-up will kill everything including grass,so is mixing Grazon with it a waste??

    Like mixing a hangover cure with the vodka.

    Some claim a 50/50 mix of grazing and roundup will kill Mares Tail.

    If they “survive” Roundup, then Grazon90 won’t have much effect.
    I wonder,even,if one would counteract the other?

    I mix round-up and Grazon.
    200 ml round-up 100 Grazon per can 17-18 litres
    I'm adding the Grazon to kill briars and whins (furze)

    We use the Grazon on its own and it kills them just fine. Also doesn’t kill any grass around so minimise the impact of spraying.

    I used a mix of grazon amd mcpa amd it killed off the mairs tail without killing the whole grass on the entry, killing off the whole cover just opens up formfirther weeds to erupt and take over.
