Has anyone tried this stuff, you add 5g per 20 litres of water and your glyphosate -roundup or gallup and apparently it will keep the area weed free for 4-6 months. Anyone got any experience with it ? is it worth the extra money, is it as good as it makes out.

I looked into it. Apparently it does work but its expensive and it need to go down on a dry ground.

Its not that expensive really to do a 300m2 drive it would be £7.90 for chikara and 66p for gallup 360 its defiantly a big difference to just using the gallup 360 but if you get 6 months weed free it should be an easy sell and you can charge more.

Plus it looks better for you if the drives you clean stay weed free for longer.

And it's unlicensed for what you wish to use it for...due to run off into ground water.

I plan on using it on gravel driveways for weed control, that's my original idea. chris are you saying you cant use it for that ??

[justin cooper]

Well as far as I can see is fine to use on gravel drives, and on block paving as long as you don't have any run off.

Sorry I have never cleaned a gravel driveway ...so i would not apply weedkiller.
Block paving is a "solid" surface so it's not licensed....due to run off....most driveways "drain" somewhere. So you have run off.
Flazasulfuron entering river courses will cause chaos with vegetation which will then affect wildlife. Hence the restrictions on it's use.
Did the instructor not cover this when you did your "weedkiller application training"?

As for block paving how exactly how is the run off going to occur? The bricks are not permeable but each brick has a channel with sand around it and soil underneath, and im not applying it with a hose. And you say most driveways have drains ? not sure about that probably just as many with soak aways which run into soil so no problem there so thats all driveways with soak aways ok .

flazasulfuron may be used in Amenity situations that are plant free. I dont think there's going to be a problem with this getting into drains as long as you stay a meter away from drains  when spraying like they teach you chris
