Allotments 4 All

My lawn is being overtaken by Ox-Eye Daisy (very pretty in the border though) and a wide variety of other unwanted plants. 

I've dug out a bottle of Verdone Concentrate, but the lable has disintegrated.  Can someone let me know what the quantities are please.  Each year I promise myself that 'this will be the year of the lawn' but never seem to end up with the bowling green that optimistically I hope for.

Try this, but don't quote me on it, as it is from another thread.

Thanks for that, I'll give it a whirl. 

(Interesting site with a whole section devoted to lawns, may  get my bowling green yet ::))

The safest way is to get details from the manufacturer

The Scotts Company

Remember to follow the safety instructions too.

Verdone contains clopyralid amongst other things, if you want to know what else is in it then look at the MSDS (link above) or the pesticides register approval notice.
■ Do not use clippings from a treated lawn as mulch around your veg as it will cause significant & potentially fatal damage to your crops.
■ Do not add clippings to your compost heap as the clopyralid will not break down so your compost will be lethal to most broadleaf plants.
■ Do not put clippings in with green waste for composting by the council as the clopyralid will contaminate the finished compost which in turn contaminates all the big name trusted brands of commercially available compost who now have to use green waste to form part of their blends.
