There is no shortage of solutions. Truth, I've never heard of leaf lock. I have heard of sticker solutions. You can actually use horticultural oil as a sticker. You can also use liquid soap.

Interesting I seem to recall that 24d was invented and used in WWI by the British.
Perhaps slightly parallel to agent orange used in Vietnam. At one time Scotts sold a product called Erase. It was the same chemical as Agent Orange.

That product I mentioned Kill Max, does work better than broad leaf killers such as Weed be Gone a trimac-24d product. More important to me, Kill Max is the only product I know of that will kill the St Augustine invariably brought into a Zoyzia lawn by the mowers, without killing the Zoyzia. Weed be gone products mixed a bit strong, 2 rather than 1 tablespoon per gallon will kill St Augustine and not the zoysia. I suggest if anyone follows my advice you do a small spot. Not your whole lawn. If, it works
I do not expect credit or thanks. If, it does not I accept no responsibility.
