A customer wants a weed treatment on their lawn but they also like to compost the clippings after each mow. 

The product I use states not safe for composting (Praxys). I can't spot spray as there are a lot of bittercress hidden within the grass. Will a good feed and frequent mowing eventually flush out the weeds?

  • No, Mecoprop and dicamba - various brands such as Hytrol will sort it and composted cuttings can be used after 6 months.

    It is not possible to compost or send to green waste Praxys treated grass, only option is to use a mulching mower until it is grown out.

    How about a spray, then the next cut goes to waste?

    Assuming the cuts are a few weeks apart all should be good?

  • The first three cuts after spraying cannot go into compost. I do however send it to green waste (I didn't know that I can't & the amount within GW site would be nothing) You would have to be mowing every other day to clip off the seed heads to stop Bittercress.
