I come within a couple of gallons of mixture in a 10 acre field.
Yeah, and I just want to kill the weeds in my driveway!

I haven't tried it yet but I have heard that mixing in some diesel fuel with Roundup makes it work better again I haven't done this myself.

Diesel fuel will kill grass/weeds by itself. Doesn't "help" round up.... it kills on it's own. That's what we used to use back in the 80's around the house and barns. Diesel was cheap.... and the EPA wasn't a worry.

7 page thread discussing the proper mix of chemicals, ratios, the potential for cancer, 4 pages on glyphosate (oddly enough not a single reference to Monsanto or GMO'S), and references to the myriad of alphabet soup agencies provided to us by our respective state and federal government agencies who have nothing better to do than tell us how we can and cannot take care of the weeds on our own damned driveways.

J-Mech nailed it. Diesel fuel will keep those weeds dead for 3 years, but it's illegal, so you've got to risk cancer instead. Pick up some chest waders and a respirator before you spray so your pecker doesn't fall off when you're done, because that might upset the wife.

God Bless America. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone know if DEP agents are getting paid during the government shutdown?

Sorry for the rant.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
