Has anyone ever used diesel on their fencelines as a
herbicide/weed killer. A fellow I ran into a while back said he used it & it was very effective & cost-efficient.
I just can't remember if he mixed it w/ something else or
diluted it w/ water or what ratio he used??
Sure it's effective, but may be illegal since it's considered a hazardous substance in spills.

Or it is a hazard?
How'd that word "not" get in there? [img]/forums/images/icons/confused.gif[/img] Surely I didn't type that. [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Anyway, I took it out. [img]/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
Good luck diluting diesel with water. Ever hear the one about how oil and water don't mix?
Diesel is often mixed (in varying proportions) with various herbicides. It is a fair (not great) herbicide used as is. I don't like to use it much myself... but that is just my personal pref. I prefer water and surfactant dilutants with my sprayable herbicides. I recommend you have a chat with your county extension agent for specific advice about your specific pest plants and your particular extant conditions.
