redkneck Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) Lots of things to use. But you have to be more specific. There's pre-emergents, post-emergents, broadleaf killers, etc. I use Treflan granular and works great, just keep it away from corn (don't even know if you can grow corn in your end of the world lol) Edited April 1, 2010 by redkneck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wobbly_Alaska Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 yeah i can get corn to go... germinate is the hard part.. it dont get dark till august.. this year i will cover it at night with black plastic... so that link... looks like i can use it then plant the garden with transplants???? as for the larger lawn area... we want to plant some clover for the moose in the area and other wild life... ( the more they mow the better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Maybe this is more friendly: http://www.gardenguides.com/90575-treflan-vegetable-gardens.html Basic rule of thumb on treflan is that it's ok for most anything without parallel leaf patterns (like corn, most grasses). Having no idea what you are battling up there you should read up and make sure it's going to benefit you before you spend the $ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Usually use glyphosate(roundup) here and wait a week to 10 days to plant. Used 2 4d and roundup this past weekend, has not turned yet though, just starting to yellow. Will burn the dead vegetation after it turns, then spray it again when I see green coming back. Should be ready to disc after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 I'd also us glyphosate as a total herbicide. I've planted as soon as two days after spraying but usually wait a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
