When I was playing High School Baseball the Head Coach used diesel fuel on the base paths to keep the weeds from growing into the lines and the infield. Does anyone know how exactly this is done?
In California in the 60's and early 70's diesel was used for weed control and sprayed into creeks for mosiquito control. Times have changed. It's illegal to discharge diesel in water or on land.
User a non selective herbicide like, ERASER, instead. Be patient...the kill takes 5-7 days to show, but it is permanent. Two applications a year usually keeps an infield clean.
