Mares Tail

Got this Friend from a non eu country who has a problem with Mares Tail. He has got some Ammonium Sulphamate to use, and is looking for advice on what mix ratio to use?

It seems to be about 150 - 200g/litre if [STRIKE]you [/STRIKE] he is going to have an 'accident' on the way to the compost heap.

Don't forget to add some washing up liquid as a wetting agent.

I've got a similar friend who needs to know what dilution of Jeyes fluid to use as a winter wash for fruit trees!

70ml to 1 litre of water for fruit trees and 35ml per litre for fruit bushes, bit too late for it though, unless they're in Siberia.

I expect someone from outside the EU will soon be asking how to make Bordeaux Mixture!

Wow, that's a lot stronger than I had thought! I think I had been [STRIKE]using[/STRIKE] advising about 5ml per litre. Not quite in Siberia but I wouldn't be surprised if you could see it from here on a clear day! Every year one of my trees fools me into thinking it has died, as it is late May before it shows any leaves!

Or where to buy sodium chlorate!

This bargain publication should give a few clues:

Lol, thanks! Looking at the weeds around my house, perhaps industrial quantities are indeed what I need!
