what part of the country are you located? My location is Northern VA. Thanks. Your videos are very very helpful
I have used this and it works like a charm absolutley brilliant product no more weeds and i had a lot of weeds plus the nitrogen gives the grass a nice kick.
Does it only interfere with weed germination? Or all plants? IE: Do you use it only when you are NOT planting your desired crop?
Thanks.
How do you sell this to your customers when it is sooooo expensive to use???
