More useful than Roundup

My wife and I own 55 acres of mostly overgrown pasture in south-central Pennsylvania. It wasn't pastured for about 30 years and was taken over by multi-flora rose, honeysuckle shrub, autumn olive, grape, poison ivy, etc. We use a variety of control methods including herbicides (mostly on roadsides and fence rows). The problem with Roundup is that it kills the turf, making an opening for more weeds. One small disappointment is that Crossbow kills rather slowly, but we will probably have little use in the future for Roundup.

Target: Lawn Violets & Creeping Charlie
By Darel on 09/26/2016
I've never run across a more difficult invader than the lawn violet. These dang things are next to impossible to eradicate. I sprayed a mix of Crossbow (with dish soap) on them several weeks ago and they're still surviving. I have noticed that the edges of their leaves are getting brown but why is it taking so long to kill them??? On the other hand, creeping charlie is no match for Crossbow as all that I sprayed are completely withered and dead. While I was spraying I also hit all the dandelions that I saw and man does this stuff ever annihilate them! It turns them completely BLACK like someone burned a hole in your lawn. Beware though because it will also kill the grass which I'm not happy with but I can live with that. Crossbow is a strong herbicide so be carefull and mix only as directed.
