Ragan & Massey RM43 Weed Preventer

No, you should not use this product near desirable plants. It is a non-selective, heavy-duty herbicide designed to kill everything it touches and prevent new growth for up to a year, which would destroy your flowers and vegetables.

When applied according to the instructions, RM43 creates a barrier that can prevent new weed growth for up to one year. Keep in mind that environmental factors like heavy rainfall or soil type can sometimes impact the longevity of this residual effect.

As with any concentrated herbicide, you should keep pets and children out of the treated area until the spray has completely dried. Once dry, it is generally considered safe for them to re-enter, but always refer to the specific safety precautions listed on the product label.

Because it is a concentrate, you will need to mix it with water in a tank sprayer according to the dilution ratios on the label. It is best applied on a calm, dry day to avoid spray drift onto nearby plants you want to keep.

It does both. The formula is designed to eliminate existing vegetation while simultaneously creating a soil barrier that stops new seeds from germinating.

Absolutely not. This is a total vegetation killer, meaning it will kill your grass along with the weeds. It is intended strictly for bare-ground areas like gravel driveways, fence lines, and parking areas where you want zero plant life.
