Q

Can I re-plant in an area where Ortho GroundClear Vegetation Killer Concentrate has been applied if I put with new soil over top of the sprayed area?
I sprayed GroundClear on area that I intended to plant flowers and shrubs in after weeds and grass killed. Can I still plant with new soil over top of the sprayed area?

A

Ortho GroundClear Vegetation Killer Concentrate can prevent anything growing in the area for up to 1 year. You will need to wait that time to plant in the treated area or completely remove the treated soil and replace with new to plant sooner

All bare ground/vegetation management products like Ortho GroundClear Vegetation Killer Concentrate are recommended to be applied outside the dripline of desirable trees and plants to prevent their feeding roots from absorbing the product. Inside the dripline is where these roots are closest to the soil and could absorb any such product so we would not recommend using any in the area within any desired plant drip lines.

Unfortunately, we do not carry any products labeled to treat Japanese Barberry. However, after doing some research on a couple university websites, we have found 2 active ingredients that have been known to kill Japanese Barberry. Cutting the stump and applying products with the active ingredients Glyphosate or Triclopyr has been shown to have great results for killing Japanese Barberry. The Ortho GroundClear Vegetation Killer Concentrate contains a small amount of glyphosate, but it may not be enough to prevent regrowth on tough plants.

Ferti-Lome Brush Killer and Stump Killer has the active ingredient triclopyr which can be used as a stump killer. The product needs to be applied directly to the fresh cut stump in order for it to be effective. The only product we currently have labeled for privet is PastureGuard HL, but this product is not labeled for use in residential areas.
