Don't think councils do that any more, worried about their environmental credentials.Originally Posted by Macca
I said on here years ago, that sooner or later all weedkiller will become unobtainable (like sodium chlorate did and creosote by the way, remember that?). I keep a considerable stock, just in case.

They do it round here, I've seen him going round with his squirty thing. If they didn't do it things would quickly get out of hand.
It didn't get done over lockdown so we had about 6 months unfettered growth, it was excellent. Thistles the height of a man!

The councils around here stopped using weedkiller some time ago. They just have a crew doing weeding by hand, only lasts a week or two but you can tell which roads are done, lesser used ones are neglected and really overgrown.

Well they don't do any weeding around here. It's left to the residents to do something about it.

I just do my front and back yards, and the neighbour's. I like to salt the ground as well but it's been too wet this year for it to work.

I believe petrol makes a good weedkiller, but maybe that's an old wives' tale.

no, it will kill pretty much anything.. a bit dodgy tho, and probably highly illegal... boiling water works well
