How do those 'stickers' work? Do you mix with the other chemicals or apply first?
I mix those two chemicals together with water in a little gallon sized sprayer. It seems to work pretty well.
I have two long farm driveways that I end up mowing. I need something to put in my atv sprayer that kills everything. roundup?
Full rate of roundup and 2-4D should take care of pretty much everything if you are looking for a complete, clean kill. If you have some brush or small trees growing in there you could use a brush killer like crossbow (has 2-4D in it) and roundup.
Question from the OP that hasn't been answered - do any organic weed killers actually work?
My gf hates roundup, a lot. So I can't use that for patio, sidewalk, driveway (it's her place, I am a kept man lol).
I've read a mix of dish soap, vinegar, and salt (or borax) will kill weeds but not permanently. Anyone with experience on this? I'm not planning to do it in the lawn, just in areas where I want zero vegetation at all. Can I salt the earth?

Yeah my reading on high concentrations of vinegar haven’t been promising, I’ve got an area right by the entry which is a few bushes, small tree, and some plants. But the rest I just want to lay waste too. Dogs and such though get around there a lot so I’m hesitant to throw roundup down.
This is likely the best choice, but will kill just about anything green that's not resistant. Go to the hardware store and buy a bottle of glyphosate concentrate (generic roundup). Mix and apply according to label instructions. Be careful not the spray stuff you don't want to kill. I can take a week or more sometimes to see results.
Around our fields we have these bunches of little trees. About 1" diameter. Would crossbow kill those?
Maui Wowie is always a solid choice, maybe go Sour Diesel or....
Whoops, sorry. I'm dyslexic.

A heavy rate should kill them. You will want to be careful with the crop, especially soybeans. If you drift onto non-Enlist soybeans you will kill them with the crossbow, and even with Enlist beans your rate would be high enough in a spot-spray situation that you'd likely kill them or injure them. You will be better off with corn, but still make sure not to drift too much.
I like to drive in the beans and spray out towards the ditch when the beans are about 4-6" tall. I'm on 15' rows so I run quite a few over, but at that growth stage they pop right back up. This helps with the drift vs spraying from the road into the field.
If you are the landowner and not the farmer, I would check with your tenant to be sure what you are doing will work with him. He will appreciate you being pro-active with it and will probably help you with all of it.
As someone else mentioned, Crossbow has worked wonders on my clover this year. I start seeing them dying within 2-3 days. I had more pop up a few weeks after applying so had to do a second spray ~a month after the first - so far so good.
Crossbow should kill anything woody. Best way to get rid of poison ivy as well imo
I did see in the reviews for Crossbow that some people mix it with diesel or kerosene for 'adhesion'
