I read somewhere not to use ionic surfactants.

how would I know if a dish detergent or liquid soap is non ionic?


I really do not know. I know that I use a cheap brand of liquid soap
for any spraying I do, and I always get the desired results.

While I indicated not to spray, I do spray Roundup with a small,
hand-held sprayer on my hill. Yes, my desired ground cover is sometimes
damaged; but new growth eventually replaces the damage. On my paths, I
use the same hand-held sprayer whiile bending low to ensure that only
the weeds are hit. Of course, I only spray when there is NO wind.
