This. It's the only stuff we use that will really kill off the briers, poison ivy, and small tallow tree saplings.

all you need is roundup concentrate and double up the mix per water. Anything else is overkill and your neighbors will hate you in your "ghetto" katy neighborhood b/c collateral will kill the grass and poison the ground surrounding it.
BTW, that's dewberries and really if you can't put on a pair or cheap work gloves and yank that stuff up and then use a hula hoe to destroy the roots, you should be chastised for letting your yard get that bad in your neighborhood.

This stuff has the same active as Roundup plus another herbicide and kills for up to one year it's great--highly concentrated
RM43 Total Vegetation Control
Look this is a glyphosate/imazapyr combination and it will put down the weeds economically and will kill tallow/popcorn trees dead.
New on the market last year I am told but we used it and it is better than any of the broadleaf and brush only products and it has residual control. Cost about $60 a gallon. Makes a bunch.

Also someone mentioned dish washing liquid in the round up? Why? Does it cause it to foam and stick to treated area better..

Drill holes into tree, pour straight roundup in drilled holes, dead tree. That's how I've always gotten rid of unwanted trees/shrubs.

Thanks. Sorry I should elaborate. Not a tree just crap. Weeds and blackberry/ sticker bushes around pool equipment and near koi pond.

Yea it sticks better. All ag sprayers use soaps

Save yourself some money and buy Ranger Pro. Same as Round Up at half the price. Get it at Tractor Supply.

I'm listening? Glyophosphate I assume? Same concentration? Needs dilution?

Plenty of plants have oils on the leaves. The soap dissolves the oil and allows the chemical to reach the surface of the leaf.
Eta: most herbicides have surfactants in them already, which is essentially just soap.

Cornerstone also has knock off roundup.
If the main ingedient is glyphosphate and it calls for 2.5oz/gallon it's knock off roundup

How much soap in the mix?
Posted on 7/6/14 at 6:29 pm to LSU alum wannabe
And actually have a low 2-4-D concentrate liquid. The 2 are safe to mix?

41% glyphosate is the same strength that is used on farms...one gallon of 41% makes 50 gallons of spray....
here ya go...

It's safe but pointless. Glyphosphate kills everything 2-4D kills plus a whole lot more.
To the best of my knowledge 2-4D doesn't kill anything that roundup doesn't kill.

agree completely...and 2-4-D seems to drift really easily causing damage to nearby plants that you don't want to screw up...
I won't crack a container of 2-4-D within a quarter of a mile of a cotton field...

Yes, they mix just fine.
2,4-D will take care of any broad leaves you want to kill. Adding in roundup will aid in killing broad leaves and will wipe out your grasses...it's your best bet for over the counter weed control.
Additionally, most roundup mixes have a surfactant already added in (which will enhance the 2,4-D.
Just follow the directions and you will be fine.
As someone mentioned, just use the recommended rates. Overdosing is just a waste of money and wont give you a significantly better result.
Just remember to be mindful of the wind and follow the recommended rate.

2,4-D is much more volatile than round up and is much more susceptible to drift.
But it will take care of those vines in a way round up wont.
