Nitrogen as weed killer?
Posted: Sun May 19, 2019 4:22 pm
Years ago a garden store owner sold me a large bag of a chemical, with the assurance that a teaspoonful dropped in the centre of a dandelion plant would kill it. That stuff did exactly what he said, and not just on dandelions - buttercups, Yay!. Now I have none left and don't know what it was. I suspect it was a high-nitrogen fertilizer that burned or "Grew the plants to death" - if that's possible.
The stuff was white, in little round granules. It was hygroscopic(?) and tended to meld into a lumpy mass which I'd break up with a hammer every so often.
Ideas, comments?
