MMC-PRO and shrubs

Need to spray a lot of fencing with the above............ quite a few shrubs in the close vicinity and even attached to the fence.  I'm going to try and cover the shrubs where practical however wondering if anyone had definite experience of how harmful  it is to established plants?.....     I've tried to get answers from various sources but can't get a definite answer. I could experiment on a small area first however I'm in a bit of a hurry and would like to get the stuff on before a lot of the shrubs leaf up.

    Graham, we use a fair amount of MMC Pro on fences/gates and hard surfaces and and at lower application have not seen any major issues on shrubs/grass.

    We use coarse nozzles to ensure application is quite directional, and any minor drift-spray is washed off asap. Neat soltuib or left on plants for a period of time, I would expect to see some soft green damage.

    Maybe a cheap fleaBay Tarp could be used to cover the shrubs and pulled along as you move would be a further safety option?

    The only issue I ever had was a customer rose twisted up but the shrubs around it were fine, roses grew out of it as well...
  • Many thanks for the replies..................very helpful.  I'll give it a go and cover up the shrubs as best I can. If they all die, I'll blame you both!!:)  

  • If it helps anyone, ordered 8 x 5l containers of above yesterday afternoon.   https://www.pitchcare.com/shop/hard-surface-moss-killer/mmc-pro-mos...    Arrived this morning and you get a free knapsack sprayer thrown in if you order 4 containers or more. I've had one of these sprayers before and they're actually quite good even though they're cheap (free even)
