Customer Reviews for TVC Total Vegetation Control

This product works very well to control difficult to control weeds, both pre and post emergent. However, it can be extremely toxic to desirable plants. Product is quite persistent and if moved near desirable plants by water or dust, it will severely effect them. I have seen damage to grapes over 100 ft. from application site. TVC was applied while grapes were dormant, but apparently carried by dust to remote vines. Vines 10 ft from application were either killed or severely stunted. My guess is that materials needs to be better incorporated deeper into soil where wind erosion sould be less of a problem.

worked after one spraying in some areas. (ditch bank, around shed and a/c unit) ground still dead no sign of weed growth for 4 months now. had to apply second spraying on the parking lot area within a month to kill new growth. weeds are now starting to come back in parking area. the parking area gets only afternoon sun , don't know if this may be reason for weed comeback or not, but better than monthly spraying of round-up.

Product is described just as ordered, only issue was first order was not delivered due to damaged shipping container, I received an open and empty box from USPS, products that contain liquids should be packaged and sealed as to not allow outside sources to open and access the package contents. Aside from the shipping mishap "Do My Own" was very prompt in replacing the product, shipped and received within 3 days. Great service!!!!!!!

TVC is very effective. It works well with hard-to-kill weeds like morning glory, bindweed, and whiteweed(nightshade). lf broadcast, TVC will sterilize the ground and prevent more weeds for 6 months or more. Also, can be mixed with glyphosate. It is fairly expensive, though.

dont know if it will work for 1 yr but it did kill stuff. of course I added some gordens big and tough killer to it and it killed everything it touched. kind of pricey but if it woks for a year it will certainly be worth it.

We live in Central Texas and have a gravel driveway and some fencing. While we are in a drought now, rains in late winter/early spring brought an abundance of weeds and especially juniper along the fence. Applied TVC and mixed with RoundUp for quick initial knock-down, but the TVC definitely worked. Nothing has comeback at all. It's been absolute. My only worry, and the label cautioned this, but I believe I have severely injured or killed a Texas Green Ash that was close to the driveway. I thought I was out sufficiently past the drip line but may have still been too close. Tree is 30ft tall and about 20 years old. However, I've been battling ball moss for several years and that usually happens to a tree that's already past its prime so a younger, healthier tree might've not been as impacted but I think my TVC application was a bit too close to the tree- add to that drought stress. My advice is to stick to their instructions and then also add some additional buffer as it is a bit of a 'scorched earth' product- which I wanted for the driveway but should've maybe just used a weaker product closer to the tree. I also applied it a bit too close to a big male Chinese Pistache but it's on a lawn irrigation system so verdict isn't out on any injury- he's still green and enormous and about 30 years old so pray ing I didn't hurt it- will do an update in the next few months. Still TVC is what I needed to keep the driveway from being overrun and vegetation from damaging/stressing the fence- especially by juniper.
