Organic herbicide spraying

From City Scene, published on 27 September 2009

Spraying of grass verges, kerbs, channels and street gardens

Weather permitting, an organic contact-herbicide will be applied to the edges of paths, fence-lines, around specimen trees, posts, in gardens and shrubberies, and all street environments, including road reserves and pleasance areas. The purpose is to control grasses, most weeds, and to manage obstacles for the mowing operators. The exceptions to the above are low-toxicity Glyphosate which may occasionally be applied to assist with the control of problematic weeds.

Signs are displayed while spraying is in progress. All work will be done by Growsafe Registered Chemical Applicators.
