Whatever you use to apply the glyphosate make sure it is thoroughly cleaned afterwards or keep a sprayer just for weedkiler. I bought the ready diluted 1litre spray plus a large concentrated pack to refill. That way I know that sprayer is just for weedkiller and has all the application rates printed on the label.

If you were going to water on rather than spray make your own using a large plastic pop bottle. Punch fine holes al around the botle top. Fill with mixture screw lid back on then turn upside down over the area to be treated. You can throw botle away after use or keep for next time.

I always use a watering can with rose and have drawn a skull and crossbones on it to stop me using it for any other purpose!  I don't find spraying it on very effective - I must spread it too thinly.

I have one red watering can., the others are green. Easy to identify!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I borrowed a back pack sprayer today(Like the Ghostbusters :D)
I used  3ltr of Resolva 24 which should have done up to 115 sq mtrs,I did approx 15 and had to get some more.
Do you think I was a bit over enthusiastic? ::)
It's better to burn out than to fade away !!     ;)

Either that, or you didn't dilute it right  :D
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
