Don't know what they use but we use Ranger Pro. Supposed to be the same as Round Up (of course) for half the price. Works pretty good for us

Roundup is a weed/ grass killer.... Lasts about 6 weeks and stuff starts to grow back... Thats what 99% of us use.... Power Company and others use a GROUND STERILANT... Poisions the dirt and stuff dont grow for 1-3 years...

Mixing Roundup with diesel fuel will do a long term job... Some of the " ground killers" have an oil / naptha / petrolium base to them...

or this

Probably need a license to use some of that stuff depending on your state. And several weeds are becoming round up tolerant do your results may vary. Liberty(glufosinate) kills quickly, it’s really quite impressive! But stuff grows back. Most of these work best when the weed is young, like 4-6 inches tall.

I forgot about diesel. Pawpaw used to spray weeds with it. It'll flat kill but I'd bet you better not get caught.

poor man's roundup ( cheap to make, works great, kills all )
jug of vinegar,2 cups salt, few squirts of dish soap
spray on after morning dew is gone, weeds die after lunch

saw a video of farmers using a steam genny at base of grape vines,worked very well.

Yeah…. I was dealing with a hay guy a few years ago. Talking about trimming fences to keep the juice hot. He told me he uses gasoline! I was shocked. I thought no way. But the more I get tired of trimming and such, the more I think, hmmm!…
