The Bottom Line I highly recommend using this product on your garden to help keep the weeds out.
If you we're like me and had a hard time keeping weeds out of your garden. Then you need to go to your Farmer's Coop and buy some Post. It isn't called Post anymore for they change the name about three years ago, but that's what everybody still calls it.The name of it now is, "High Yield Grass Killer." This older gentleman is the person who let me in on his secret of keeping his garden so clean. I was trying to work all the time, trying to keep those aggravating weeds out.What a job, especially if you live in low ground and it takes a long time for the soil to dry out enough to till. I'm so grateful that he shared his secret to me, because now it doesn't kill me trying to keep my garden clean. You can spray this grass killer around just about anykind of vegetables. There are only a few you can't spray around and I'll tell you about them .You are also able to spray around trees, shrubs and flowers which I will list as well. Fruit & Vegetables- You can spray around. Apple Trees Broccoli Artichokes Cabbage Beans Leaf Lettuce Blueberry Onion Garlic Muskmelon Cabbage Peanuts Cantaloupes Peas Cauliflower Potato Tomato Citrus Eggplants Grape Pumpkins Peppers Squash Strawberry Pear Celery Spinach Spinach Watermelon Cucumbers and etc. ( You can't spray it around corn or okra.) Here are some of the other plants, shrubs, trees and etc. You can spray around. Azalea Crape Mrytle Spruce Black Walnut Pine Hibiscus Honeysuckle Bush Lilacs Baby's Breath Begonia Aster Canna Capeweed Rosemary and many more as well. You can't spray around roses. I got some of these plants of the pamplet that's on the bottle.They have all the names that you are able to spray around. Which is very helpful in knowing what plants and trees you can spray If you have any animals running around outside it's best to keep them off for an hour to let it dry.. Always when using weed killing herbicide there are always dangerous toxics to consider.Always wash your hands very throughly after spraying your garden or yard.The clothes that you wear while dispensing Post should be taking off and washed by themselves.Make sure you wash your clothes throughly. The best time that I've found to spray this on those dreadful weeds is when the sun's out. This will the killing of the roots process to work even faster.When I first spray the weeds, I usually cut the grass real short so it will work faster and will look a whole lot neater.It states on the pamplet that it will kill weeds up to a foot tall but it usually requires another treatment on them before it kills them completely. If anyone else has any useful information that also will help with grass or weeds please let me know.If you are like me have another job away from home.We need all the help we can get. Thanks for reading.Have a Happy 4th.!! Update: Nanct had asked me was it safe around kids and what kind of ingredients did it contain.So I went and found the bottle.Carol I hope this helps!

Cntaur5 had asked where to purchase Post. The only place that I know of is at the local Farmer's Coop.Just ask them for Post but like I said they changed the name to High Yield Grass Killer.As for as having information on when it was tested I don't.As for as I know it doesn't leave film on my plants.
