Selective weed killer

Post by dundrillin »

Are selective weed killers effective in Thailand to get rid of weeds in the lawn? If so where can I buy them ?

Not that I've looked very hard, but I've never seen them in Thailand but I'll be very happy if somebody replies with a positive answer as I could do with some too.

"Roundup"(glysophate) is good if you can find it. Homepro used to stock it under a local name.

Yes roundup is very effective but unfortunately it kills the grass as well. I'll see what Google says.

The best way is to pull them out by hand but it's a painstaking process, it takes the Mother-in-law about three days to do the whole lot when she comes to visit.

When using a weed killer for grass, be sure to comply with all the instructions on the label. Weed killers can be extremely effective on lawns, but this is contingent on their proper application.
