    I've cleared lots of heavy furze (some areas call them Whins) but have younger green ones still intertwined in rough grass and to finish the job i was wondering what product and rate ye would recommend?

    Have 95litre quad sprayer with hand lance? Have young briars(cut once) around by the walls to spray too would Grazon do that and the furze?

    Thanks;)

    I've never seen Grazon 90 around here. I've used Brushwood killer in the past with good results, but you must ensure you've sprayed the entire plant, missed areas continue growing.

    I sprayed a lot of furze over the years and what works best for me is a mix - 0.4ltr Roundup, 0.1ltr Timbrel, and a dash of LI700 (a surfactant) in a 10ltr knapsack sprayer.

    So Grazon 90 will do both jobs and it wont burn the s**t out of the grass surrounding younger furze?
