You may be dealing with some new seedlings, etc. that have sprouted due to the new level of sunshine.

Watch the plants when you spray -- if the spray isn't "wetting" the leaf but is beading up or running off add a little Dawn, etc to the mix.

We had a plant in Texas called "Blueweed" that laughed at Roundup and all the other herbicides.

Then one summer we set up a plow with knives that cut the roots 18" deep.  Every time a few leaves stuck out we'd plow it again.

Took all summer but we killed that bunch of weeds.

Hi all ... I just wanted to report back on the results. 

The RM43 I bought at Tractor Supply worked great.  I basically mixed it a little stronger than the directions called for (~ 10-12 oz per gallon instead of ~7 oz.).

I sprayed it on the leaves of all the weeds/honeysuckle/poison ivy-oak/etc.  I was careful in not spraying it on small saplings, ferns, and such.  After 1-2 days, I though i just wasted my money and time as the weeds were no different than before.  After checking around on other forums online, a number of folks reported back that it starts working on/about the third day and up through about two weeks.  Well, what do you know, everything I directly sprayed it on is dead and shriveled and everything I wanted to keep shows no signs of any damage.

I can see a few small spots where I missed and will follow-up, but this stuff is a keeper.

Thanks again to all who gave advice.

Chuck
