    Q

    Can I re-plant in an area where Ortho GroundClear Vegetation Killer Concentrate has been applied if I put with new soil over top of the sprayed area?
    I sprayed GroundClear on area that I intended to plant flowers and shrubs in after weeds and grass killed. Can I still plant with new soil over top of the sprayed area?

    A

    Ortho GroundClear Vegetation Killer Concentrate can prevent anything growing in the area for up to 1 year.  You will need to wait that time to plant in the treated area or completely remove the treated soil and replace with new to plant sooner

    Q

    I want to use Ortho GroundClear Vegetation Killer Concentrate in an area where there are other shrubs. How far away should I stay from them?

    A

    All bare ground/vegetation management products like Ortho GroundClear Vegetation Killer Concentrate are recommended to be applied outside the dripline of desirable trees and plants to prevent their feeding roots from absorbing the product. Inside the dripline is where these roots are closest to the soil and could absorb any such product so we would not recommend using any in the area within any desired plant drip lines.  Additionally, be sure to protect any desired plants/grasses from overspray.

  • Asked by William from Mechanicsville

    08/22/2018

    Q

    If I spray Ortho GroundClear Vegetation Killer Concentrate near but not on a plant will the plant be ok?

    A

    Ortho GroundClear Vegetation Killer contains two active ingredients, glyphosate for post-emergent plant control and imazapyr for long-term pre-emergent treatment. This product will affect any plants that you spray with it, but it can also kill plants if their roots contact treated soil. Since this product is designed to last in the soil for many months, you should not spray it where there would be any contact or runoff with the root systems of desirable plants.

    Q

    Is Ortho GroundClear Vegetation Killer Concentrate safe to use by a pool?
    I have rocks around my inground pool with a bunch of weeds and grass growing thru. I’m worried about when it rains that it will wash the chemical into my pool.

    A

    Yes, Ortho GroundClear Vegetation Killer Concentrate would be safe around the pool as long as overspray is not getting in it during application.  After the area has dried unless the soil is completely displaced and gets into the pool there is no concern about rain getting the product into it as it only moves in soil areas.

How long does Ortho Ground Clear Super last?

It's fast-acting - weeds absorb it on contact so you'll start to see weeds and grass wilt within hours and completely die off in 1-week to 2-weeks.

How long does it take for ground clear to work?

Ortho® GroundClear® Weed & Grass Killer Super Concentrate starts working immediately as it kills weeds to the roots. Sprayed weeds begin to wilt within hours of the application, with complete kill within 1-2 weeks. A single application controls most listed weeds.

How do you use Ortho Ground Clear year long?

To use this concentrate, simply mix 24 fl. oz. with 1 gallon of water in a tank sprayer. Use on areas where weeds are not desired, including driveways, sidewalks, gravel areas, rock and desert landscapes, under decks, on parking areas, along fences and curbs, and in unplanted areas.

Is Ortho Ground Clear safer than Roundup?

Ortho Ground Clear is as good as Roundup in terms of killing weeds. However, it is known to be the more harmful of the two because it contains both glyphosate and imazapyr. These chemicals can be quite dangerous to the environment and the user who's in contact with it regularly.
