Weed killer sprayed by mistake

10 years ago

I have sprayed bayer ground clear instead of bug killer on my plants - the containers are very similar and I didn't look carefully enough. I realised after about 5 mins and gave the whole area a thorough drenching with the hose pipe. What do you think my chances are of having saved the plants?

Depends upon various factors. Only time will tell.

This is one of those live-and-learn things in gardening, right?

I cannot think of a better reason to never have any of those products around.
