But, REMEDY (aka GARLON 4) is commonly used for this purpose, and most folks like its napalm-like results, not to mention its lack of impact on most native grasses. I'd suggest using no more than a 1/2%vv solution of REMEMDY, along with a "quality surfactant" (usually 1/4%vv); which, nowadays, might cost more per gallon than many herbicides. I'd probably loose my credibility by naming the surfactant brands I carry, and I can't bear to name my competitors' brands - so I'll do neither. Suffice to say that every distributor has their own "proprietary" line of surfactants. Some are cheap and some are quality; none are both (IMO).

That's a good approach due to the flexibility offered by the two components - although a higher rate of glyphosate usually provides non-selective control of both broadleaf and grassy plants by itself (just a slower effect). For non-selective control of grasses and broadleaf plants with extended residual control of their seeds (soil-activity), you might consider using imazapyr. BUT, don't use it within or near the root-zone of desirable trees or shrubs, since root-absorption of imazapyr is very possible.
