Scythe Herbicide - 2.5 Gallon

Product did a great job getting ride of weeds

This herbicide does a decent job, and a jug does go a long way. I mix 1 cup per gallon to treat weeds in my driveway when it is too dry to use a propane torch. Much like the propane, this product does not kill established weeds in one pass. It will burn down all the foliage that you spray, and after several passes, most things perish. If you can get weeds in the seedling phase, this stuff kills them very well. The biggest drawback is the price, but this is still a cheaper option than all the other types of organic herbicide I have tried (Herbicidal soap, orange oil) I have not compared it to acetic acid, which I hear does work well too.

Does not kill the plant. They come right back. They look dead but soon they start to sprout new blades. Expensive.

My church board was not happy with our use of Round Up on our Church property because of the medical issue with it, so I was looking for an alternate. In my search I came across a local school district staff loading up the school pickup with supplies, so I asked him. He indicated that they had switched to Scythe Herbicide on all their school properties including the lower grades schools. But no one locally carried it. So found it available on Amazon so ordered it. We are happy with it, as is our Church Board!

I had nostoc on a gravel driveway and tried everything to get rid of it, to include gasoline and burning it. This stuff may be dangerous and expensive but it works.

It’s a great herbicide for use on English ivy

Expensive but works

I don't like using roundup around my family and animals so I started using this many years ago as a safer alternative.This is made from the fatty acids of the Geranium plant. It's caustic and basically burns the cells of the plants you spray it on. Likewise, the main thing to watch in handling this product is that it can irritate or burn skin so like all pesticides, wear gloves and keep it off your skin and eyes. That said it does not seem pose much hazard once its diluted, sprayed and dried.It's fast acting - you will see the plant start to shrivel right away and within days it will turn brown. It does not get absorbed into the plant the way roundup does though so it works best when weeds are small before they go to seed. Larger, tougher weeds might take more than one dose. Since it is not a systemic, it can be used to burn off tree suckers without killing the mother tree.Another good advantage if you live in a hot dry climate: A lot of the very worst weeds come out in July and August - right when it's too hot to use 2,4-D. This stuff is a lifesaver because I can mix up a few gallons and spot treat the really bad weeds midsummer before they go to seed. It has made a huge difference in the long term well being of the landscape.It is expensive but for me it is well worth the cost to have the peace of mind since I have a lot of acreage to manage and lots of critters around that I care about - not to mention my own health after years of this type of work. Even using it at the high rate, a bottle of this will last a very long time.
