|
|
I have almost 2 acres of grass, not lawn, grass. I have a huge problem with plantain (english Plantain I think). I end up cutting the grass mostly to cut the plantain flowers (what we called soldiers when we were kids). I live in the countryside so I will always get weeds coming in from surrounding fields. Anyway, to my question. I am looking for a weedkiller and fertiliser to deal with the plantain without killing the grass. Because of the scale of it the usual lawnfeed and weedkiller works out a crazy price. Something more akin to what farmers might use for their grasslands is what I need. |

if you go to your local agricultural chemical supplier then you can purchase bulk quantities of a a weedkiller containing MCPA (many brands) which is still on the approved list for a reasonable price for bulk rather than the small bottles that are meant for pocket sized lawns.
