Title: Weedkiller advise ! again Please
Post by philmountains on Jan 8^th, 2012 at 9:30pm

Hi All
I will be over at the end of Feb for just short of 2 weeks :D, and I am fetching with me a 20litre Backpack sprayer to hopefully nuke the weeds etc.... I cannot see me getting over for a while after this trip so, I really want to use the Capppa which Bigyin suggested in a previous post of mine, Will Feb OK for this job ? and were do you recommend I buy the cappa from.
Thanks again for any help
oh and does anyone know if there are any public hols, from 19th Feb to 2nd March as I was caught out on my last trip.

Feb should be OK for spraying cappa. You should get it at the cooperatives.

Hi again
I have just tried to do a bit of a search for capa/co ops and found that there is a Co Op� quite close, Soldebre in Ravel de Christ ,is it OK to just pay cash there, or do you need a account ? and will they sell Capa ?
Thanks again
Phil
oh ! I also suppose that Capa is fairly nasty stuff, so what sort of safety gear would you recommend I fetch over face mask etc.... :-?

You can just pay with cash at the counter. You don't have to be a member. Safety notes here.

How much ground do you need to treat and what state is it in now ? If it's already weedy, you'd need to get rid of the existing weeds first or else it would be a waste of time using capa.
