Ya. Ok so maybe we should tone down a bit. He/She could turn out to be a new member soon. We really don't know what happened. Unlike the video, where it's clear he didn't read the label at all.

That may have been the plan all along. I mean I didn't even notice the sidewalk with the yard looking so bad, until u mentioned it.

I know exactly what happened, I asked what she sprayed on her dandelions when I walked by when I saw them turn chocolate brown with a metallic sheen on it and so did the grass surrounding it. she said "Round up" she must have used a heavy dose, because I've nuked my backyard with 41% glyphosate and never saw the grass turn chocolate brown before it died.

Several years ago someone told the story of their neighbor throwing "fists full of fertilizer". I still laugh at that mental image. Now I picture this lady pouring round-up directly out of the bottle onto small weed patches.

However, I'm not sure how much desirable grass she had to begin with.

Wanted to kills weeds...applied glyphosate AND Prodiamine. Certainly won the Darwin award for lawn care that year.
that guy is a complete and utter moron. to spend $250 for herbicide is the first mistake, the second is not reading the label. how in the world did he ever know the mixing rate?

And he blames the label/company. I bet if they made different labels, they would have to pay a designer to do so, and then they would have to raise the price, and then he would complain about the price.

^ mostly sarcasm.

But seriously. The only person he has to blame is himself on that one.

I have dreams once in awhile that I wake up and my lawn looks like this after a jealous neighbor decided to get their revenge.
