what herbicide will kill grass or weeds but not raspberries?

Answer 1

Glycophosphate weed killer will kill the weed and grass around the Raspberries. This type of weed killer is termed TRANSLOCATED that means it will go the the root and kill them as well. Protect the raspberry cans with a plastic bag in the area you are going to spray, just to keep the spray off the leaves. Removed the bag the next day. You may have to spray bind weed twice but it is worth it a nice clean bed is worth its weight in gold when you go the mulch and feed.

Answer 2

Weed Control In Raspberries

Answer 3

Sorry. If an herbicide kills broadleaf weeks, the raspberry plants will also be killed. There are selective grass killers such as "Grass Getter" by Monteray chemicals, but the time between spraying around raspeberries and being able to eat the fruit is 45 days.......6 weeks!!!

So I'm afraid around edibles the answer is hand weeding......wear those leather gloves!!

Answer 4

I don't know of a herbicide that is registered for that use. You may need to move the patch and keep the weeds under control I know you can use a paintbrush with roundup and food colouring for more accurate application ( roundup is clear and you can't see what you put it on without a color) be careful, herbicides are dangerous when not applied properly

Answer 5

I've never heard of one that will only kill the grass and weeds. You should try to avoid the raspberries when spraying.

Answer 6

Weed out around the plant the best you can, put down triple layers of newspaper and some wood chips on top of the newspaper. The paper will stop the weed growth and eventually disintegrate into compost and the wood chips will look attractive.
