Needs to be mixed with Oil Concentrate
By Tom on 08/18/2012
I thought it would be just a matter of mixing with water, but the directions say to mix with "oil concentrate". I now see that it's mentioned in bold red font on the website, not sure how I missed it. After some research I found that this refers to Non-Ionic Surfactant for Herbicides which I'm sure would have worked great, but I really wanted to get this stuff applied as the weeds were choking out my low lying juniper plants. I didn't want to wait another week to get it, and it's not cheap, so I mixed it with Jet-Dry for dishwashers. It's the non-ionic property that is important, but many farmers just use laundry detergent or dish-washing liquid which is not non-ionic as it's far cheaper. I applied it 2 weeks ago and have not noticed any significant change. I called Do My Own Pest Control and left a message 5 days ago and never heard back from them. Fertilome has no customer support that I could find.

Nice stuff for minor jobs. Does not kill the grass though. Got most of the weeds. Had to apply 6 times to get some weeds and grass out of some newly planted jasmine. Bottle says it covers many square feet. This is simply not correct. I used a mixing unit recommended by local garden supply house at the setting as directed on the bottle. Did not cover near what it said it would at average dispersal ( wetting the ground). Very mixed up directions. Thought I needed to add a oil agent by directions on the bottle. But garden supply house said none was needed. Very confusing.
