Lawn weed killer recipe by Merl

Lawn clover

By Merl in Christchurch

Spray control of weeds and clover in lawns. Directions:

Dissolve 6 oz sulphate ammonia and 2 oz sulphate iron to one gallon of water.

Divide lawn into strips 6 feet wide.

One gallon of solution will spray 16 square yards. Therefore, one gallon should cover a strip 6 feet wide and 24 feet long, or a strip 3 feet wide and 48 feet long.

This brew does acidify the soil so it is advisable to sweeten the soil with some dolomite lime.
