I was installing new shrubs and trees in the front of my home. I had some weeds in the garden area and my yard guy sprayed something called groundclear around the newly added shrubs and topiary trees. He was getting the weeds out before laying in mulch. Are my new plants going to die? I've been watering them daily as you would any new shrubs or trees. They cost me a fortune. It's been about 3 to 4 days since they were put in the ground. HELP!!!!
Don't worry this will not kill your new shrubs or trees. It is a systemic residual weedkiller. This weed killer will stop weed seedlings germinating in the ground(residual)and kill any weeds that have been sprayed through the leaves(systemic). As long as the gardener did not catch the leaves of your new plants all will be fine.
While I went on vacation, the weeds took over my garden. I don't know where to start to remove them. I tried raking but that didn't work. I am leery of using weed killer because there are small children and pets around. What can I do?
You just have to pick a spot and get after them. I love my Stirrup Hoe for things like this. Here is a link to one for you: http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1334167 With these hoes you can rake them back and forth and cut those nasty weeds off just below the ground surface, then use a little rake to gather them all up and get rid of them. The weeds that are too close to the desired plants can be hand pulled. The time and sweat poured into our gardens will yield great rewards!
Can I mix weed and grass killer (glyphosate) and brush killer (BK32) in the same spray tank?
Follow all mixing and application directions on the packaging.
Never mix different chemicals unless directed to do so by the manufacturers directions.
What plants to plant that might help me on the cleaning of my land? I want to give it back the nutrients and make it organic land. On it I have been used mezcal for last 20 years.
The process is called Phytoremediation.

Has taken over about 25% of my residence lawn. Treated with Weed Be Gone a few times with zero success. What product can I use to eliminate it? Thank you, Ron
Woodland or Wild Violets can be difficult to control ( I am having an issue with these in my own flower beds!)

I have several trees that have been planted by squirrels. A couple of them have gotten trunks that are about 2 inches in diameter and are coming up between concrete. I have been cutting them down and putting weed killer on them, but it does not seem to work. Can I drill holes in it and pour something in the holes to kill them for good?
You shouldn't need to drill holes in your concrete. This article provides several methods of killing unwanted trees (without ruining your concrete):
