Hello everyone,

Ive got a few patches of stinging nettles, and would like to kill them.

What would you recommend I put in a Knapsack to get rid of the stingy little buggers?

Roundup nails them

No it doesn't. Even at 6L/ha it burns the tops off and they come back.:(

Dow man told me that Thistlex is actually more effective on nettles than Pastor (which has always been my weapon of choice). Thistlex seems to work very well, but all will need repeated treatment to regrowth if they have a good, established root system.

I have some nettles in an overwintered stubble on some rented taty land. 4l glypho has nailed everything else, couch and all. The nettles laughed it off. It's kind land so likely won't get the tiller through it, so I could do with zapping the buggers in the stubble if possible.

It's because it has more trichlopyr in it.
