Maxide is registered brand name of a company called Gro Tec, Inc. and they make several products for lawn and gardens. (just one example: MAXIDE® WEED & GRASS KILLER Ready-to-Use This product is used by Homeowners and Professionals)It's hard to tell what you purchased unless you still have the container. There are lot of good products on the market get rid of pesky weeds. Sox...have you tried Preen? Or a combination of glyphosate and 2-4D? Works pretty good.

Well I have two questions....how can I kill all this ivy that is spreading into the neighbors yard and up their trees?
And my two fav. herbs are Rosemary and Sweet Basil. I have a raised bed herb garden but was wondering how those two might do in the window boxes that hang on our garage?

There are many different types of Basil!! Did you know there is a chocolate scented Basil? Lemon Basil, citrus basil, cinnamon, and even a licorice scented one?

I have two Peace Lillies. They were in one of the plant arrangements from my sister's funeral.
They are in individual pots and are kinda small. I have set the pots in a larger planter and they are outside on my porch. My question is - should I re-pot them in a larger container? Will they continue to live if I just keep them in the same pots and water them? I'm afraid of root rot if I leave them in their original container but they seem to be doing OK. They have sentimental value to me and I don't want anything to happen to them. I've never had too much luck with plants. Thanks for your help!

Don't overwater, pick the flower stems off once they are done blooming, pick off the brown leaves immediately, fertilize with a 20-20-20 type house plant fertilizer and don't let the plant sit in standing water. Repot the plant every year or two in a rich soil consisting of equal parts of loam, peat moss, and sand (standard houseplant potting SOIL.)

I wonder how hard it is going to be to find 2-4D? Is it an aerosol can or do I need one of those spray pumps (like I threw out...)

There's a product called BrushBGone by Ortho that works. That combined with Roundup should do the trick. I would be sure to cut as much of the plant back first to make sure you expose the roots. The containers come with pumps!
