Weed Murderizer Pueblo?

[Martinjmpr]

Those of you who live in Pueblo or similar arid parts of the state, what are you using to kill weeds in xeriscaped areas (i.e. there does not need to be consideration to preserve grass?)

Notice I used the term "murderizer." My attitude towards these weeds is like Roberrt DeNiro as Al Capone in the movie "the Untouchables":

I want them DEAD. I want their FAMILIES DEAD! I want their HOUSES BURNED TO THE GROUND!

So any recommendations for a good weed annihilator are welcomed. This would be for the front yard so pets are not an issue either.

I'm ready to go scorched earth. Maybe literally?

I just got rid of about a gallon of 2 year old gas drained out of an old Yamaha.

Could have been yours for free!

Awesome! I will give that a try! Thanks!

They sell a stronger concentrate on Amazon. 1:8 mix with water.

Yo can also sometimes find higher concentrate white vinegar at farm/ranch supply stores, eg Bomgaars, Big R, Murdoch's, Tractor Supply, etc. I have only physically seen it at Bomgaars (in Burlington), but I wasn't really looking for it or been in the right departments at the others. Might be worth a phone call.

I use Dicamba for our large infestations of myrtle spurge. It's selective for broadleaf plants and leaves grasses alone. If you want to nuke everything, good ol glyphosate (aka Roundup) is the proven choice. A spray indicator dye is really helpful to see what's been covered--it disappears in a day or two. Don't breathe in any of this shit.

You can get the 20% (regular vinegar is 5%) at HomeDepot and Walmart.

Kilz All or 33% vinegar.

I use store bought vegetation killer. I think the main ingredient is glycophosphate or something that looks like that word. If you buy it at one of the farm stores it is usually about a 44% solution and a gallon goes a long way when mixed with water as directed.

They sell similar stuff at Lowes and Home Depot but the concentration is way less, it doesn?t cover as much, and generally doesn?t work well.

If I were you I would make a trip to your closest farm and ranch store and see what they have.
