Default Are my results normal?????

I've mentioned in a couple other posts that I like clover and alfalfa and have good success as long as my ground prep was good and the pH was at least 6.4. I appreciate all the advice the past couple years.

The only problem I've struggled with was broadleaf competition. I have 3 or 4 problem types in every field. The fields would last about 3 years, which is good but the weeds just took over, even with consistant mowing.

This spring I tried the Slay herbicide and in about 24 days the it took out all the broadleaf except the clover and alfalfas. Unbelieveable...........

On top of this when I read the lable, it has a residual that keeps broadleaf weeds from germinating for a year or so. We'll see??????????

I'm already happy, but if these weeds don't back next year it may be the greatest invention since the flush-toilet.

I found it online in a couple places but I bought it at
http://www.whitetailinstitute.com/products/herbicides/

Just wanted to spread the word. I know I've seen posts that mentioned problems with weeds and grases.

Has anyone else tried it. I want to know if my experience is normal with the product or was I just lucky.

What types of broadleaf weeds were your main problem?

Thanks for the info - I kept the post in case.

I used Slay and Arrest this year. I was very impressed with both of them. My plot has never been cleaner or greener.

I'm not good at determining the identity of broadleaf. I just know it wasn't a grass. I had at least 3 or 4 types. They're gone now, we'll see if they come back later.

Thanks
