Mentions avoiding windy conditions and spraying in dry conditions.
does not poison ground it affects what it comes in contact with.
wear gloves !
take about 1 week to kill couch grass

the council owns all of the foot path from your front boundary to the kerb. have your property surveyed to determine your front boundry
if you want to plant trees or have gardens on the footpath you have to get permission from the council
you are not allowed to park on the foot path or across the foot path as that is council property

if the tree is on the neighboring property, there is nothing you can do as it is his property
you may be able to do something if the trees are not healthy and constitute a hazard to yout property in the event of high wind or other climate condition
Talk with a lawyer or simply have a civil discussion with the property owner as he may be agreeable to trim the tree/s down

it is possible someone is trying to kill your tree

Hiya while I am not sure of what you mean exactly as an evergreen carpet I do know that if you want a plant or tree to survive don't use round up near it. Roundup is an extremely strong effective herbicide which will kill any living plant (more precisely the leaves) it touches. It also takes very little to kill a plant or tree.

Having said all that. I have had an issue with Lilly of the valley taking over as our property was vacant for 20 years the plants went unchecked all that time. I have tried just about everything else nothing even slowed them down. Of course they are a shade plant and growing under all of my trees that lined the property and are well over 100 years old.

• I got a large pop bottle and punctured 2 holes in the lid and added the Roundup mix into the bottle.
• I collected several sheets of plastic and newspaper. It is my understanding as long as the chemical doesn't touch the other plants or roots they should be ok.
• What you want to do is to apply the round up to the leaves ( no need to soak everything down) Just a few good drops to the leaves of the target plants should do the trick.
• Use the plastic or paper to protect the other plants you want to keep. Wait a week to ten days and you should see them begin to die. Protect all plants from accidental contact. since accidents occur what I did was immediately break or cut the infected leaf then flush the plant really well with water. This worked like a charm for me.

I can honestly say I am finally winning the battle. This year I only had about 2% of the offending plants appear. I am hoping none show up next year but if one or two do survive they wont the next year.

I hope this helps if you have any further questions please feel free to ask. Happy gardening

Get a security camera system to document that sh*t and then bust them and sue them and send them to jail!

Hi , I would be very carefull around good plants. Roundup will kill almost any plant, including aquatic plants, so you want to be sure to avoid spray drift onto other plants or into water.
