Too bad that the marvelous new weed 
killers containing 2,4-D can’t be used near 
the vegetable garden. 
exception, all common garden vegetables 
are quickly killed by 2,4-D. Tomatoes are 
particularly sensitive. If your sprayer has 
been used for weed spraying, never risk 
using it for insecticides afterwards. 
When you do spray 2,4-D near the vege- 
table patch or desirable ornamental plant- 
ings, always be sure to use a heavy 
“breaking spray” that is, one that falls in

land—fall plowed, and thoroughly fer- 
tilized. When plants are a few inches 
tall, thin to prevent crowding—using

big drops without drifting, and that im- 
mediately breaks up into a liquid film as 
soon as it hits the leaves. If you use too 
much pressure and a fine spray, 2,4-D is 
likely to drift a hundred feet or more and 
injure desirable plants. 
To kill big trees growing close to the 
vegetable garden, don’t spray. Instead, 
peel off the bark until the white moist 
growing layer or cambium is exposed. 
Wrap a cloth soaked in 2,4-D (one part 2,4-D 
to three parts of water) around this white 
part. The tree will absorb the 2,4-D both 
ways, killing both top and roots.
