I'm new to this whole thing and just started spraying my fence rows with Sahara DG herbicide.
The guy at the store said it was good stuff. It's been over a week since I started, and I'm not seeing much happen.
The soil is damp, and the bushes and vines are cut back, so I sprayed the stumps and the ground, but nothing's wilting.

Am I supposed to be mixing it with something else, like Roundup, for better results
How long does this stuff take to work? Does it need warmer weather and more active growth?
 
No worries, that's just normal. You're not seeing any wilting because Sahara DG isn't a fast-acting contact killer like Roundup. Instead, it's a residual herbicide that works slowly. It gets absorbed by the roots and stays in the soil to prevent future growth. You don't need to mix it with anything else, just be patient. It can take several weeks for you to start seeing the full effects.
 
Sahara DG usually takes a bit to kick in, especially if the plants are stressed or growth is slow. It doesn't always need a mix, but warmer, actively growing plants will absorb it better. Give it a couple of weeks before deciding it's not working
 
Sahara DG can be slow acting, especially if the plants aren't actively growing or it's cool out and it usually doesn't need mixing with Roundup, but then the results can take a couple of weeks
 
Sahara just really takes time. If you want quicker results, try glyphosate. It should keep that fence row clear for most of the next season.
