Hi there, just wandering if all dogs are allergic to wandering jew? Just bought a new place and am thinking of fencing it off, it backs onto a open drainage channel and down on the lowest bank is a heap of wandering jew, I've been searching and reading up on it and it seems tricky to get rid of, plus every time the channel floods I'm guessing I'll get afresh batch of it from upstream.
Cheers
it's a prick
Wandering Jew? Can you still call it that. The pc version is transient Israeli surely. Yes tis a prick to control but the stuff for old mans beard also does the business on it too..
From memory it's correct name is tradescantia
Whats the name of the stuff? I have heaps growing under my deck and want to get rid of it.Quote:

I use BanVine on the lawn when it starts warming up.
Broadleaf curling up after 8 days, even after rain on the 2nd day.
Instructions recommend 1:10 mix, double sprayed (LawnBoy applicator) on first application, second spray (same as first), 5-6 weeks later.
Grass looking good, broadleaf weeds - very sick.
An ideas for clover, as this only shows burn marks where BanVine landed on it.
Oh - I got mine from Farmlands, around $36-$37 for 5 litres of concentrate.
I used "Renovate" to kill nearly 2 acres of it.
Use a fixer/penetrent with it as well.
If it is thick, spray it to wet it as deep into the layer/mat as possible. Let it die down for 10 days, then use a rake or a hoe and wind row it up. Spray the wind row and the area you have cleared. Leave it 10 days then roll with wind row over, spray the row and the ground you have uncovered. Repeat until nothing is left. You then need to spot spray every 3-4 weeks to catch any regrowth.
My native bush at home has been jew free for 12 years now!
Banvine, versatil, tordon grazon. Clover is completly stuffed by versatil as well if thats a bonus.
Leave the clover alone, you'll kill my bees, and bees make honey, and honey makes MEAD!!
Grazon is great for wandering jew conrol. For knapsack sprayer use mix it at 6 mls per litre. No wetter required. Spray it till wet but not until spray is running off. Starane at 3ml per litre of water also works well too.
Only some dogs react and some cats but bugger them anyway!
I have no useful information on getting rid of wandering dew but if a dog reacts I have found swimming them in saltwater, if possible, is the best course... better and if you are close enough, cheaper, than a trip to vets for fancy medicated stuff.
Horrible stuff - out viszlas react to it pretty bad. Round up the hell out of it.
What does the reaction look like?
Acne, and red rash.
Interesting. Never seen it. Heard a few wives tales about it though
some dogs more sensitive than others especially those with short coats and relatively bare bellies ie pointers. Does have a cumulative effect as in the more exposure the higher the liklihood of a reaction. Best way to eradicate it is removal of all above ground growth then spray new growth while still small. Spray will then translocate to the rootzone with out leaving a matt of rotting mature vegetation to deal with which also protects regenerating new growth prolonging eradication. Flooding waterways are always susceptible to new material transplanting. Do not compost for obvious reason....
Don't know if you can say wondering Jew and smokes it in the same sentence :wtfsmilie:Quote:

Roundup or glyphosate does not kill it.
Tordon Brushkiller will kill it but leaves significant picloram residue in the soil.
Banvine or Woody Weedkiller may do OK but again is pretty nasty and expensive.
Escort or metsulfuron may work but also leaves residue in the soil.
Versatill won't touch it.
By far the best choice is Grazon at 6 mils per litre + Boost or Pulse penetrant at 1 mil per litre. Will not kill grass. You can buy a 1 litre bottle at any farmshop or get a bit from a friendly farmer.
A follow-up spray will be needed 6-12 months after the first hit, to clean up the bits that escaped.
Sure this would have worked but is really overkill!Quote:

Renovate is no longer on the market. It was half-strength Grazon with a built-in penetrant.
Unfortunately the Jew was up to 4' thick in places so I had to keep turning it over to get to the fresh stuff, otherwise the dead layer on the top just formed a protective layer for the stuff underneath. Maybe the fact that Renovate is a 1/2 strength was a big part of the story. At the time [15 years ago] the spray company's couldn't tell me what would work. Great to know that I ended up working twice as hard as I needed to :oh noes:Quote:
