Well I screwed up my yard in a big way today

Sorry for you. No doubt it’s going to be bad.
It’s really not that hard to make that mistake.

High quality long lasting kill that you used. I would think tilling might work given some time.
POSSIBLY even a good power raking and re-seed in a month or so.

Good luck, hope your wife eventually lets you back in the house😉
 
Post progressive pictures. Interesting, and yeah bummer. I am hoping all the water will help!


We use none of that type of product. Too many streams and shallow wells.

Vinegar for noxious weeds not in the lawn

What do you think any of these products are made with? Especially ones that persist in soil...

They are all bad - no argument from me. I don't use any herbicide on my property. None. I rather my family run, walk, sit, dig, and play in a yard full of weeds than a chemical wasteland. The amazing thing about both weeds and grass is that they are both green. And they both can be mowed or cut down.

That said, glyphosate (round up) is a known carcinogen, the active ingredients in Spectracide aren't classified as such (afaik)... yet.

In my surfing I think I saw China had some spectracide chemicals on its suspected carcinogen list...
My theory is that the chemical companies always have the next version of these products developed with a different enough chemistry to be "new". Then they wait for the last one to be proven bad enough to be finally banned/restricted, then ride the next one for 10 years until its banned/restricted....
