I have read here a few times the recommendatioon to apply weed killer
with a sponge. For grass and weeds around the shrubs around my

apply it and to how much?

Thx in advance.

It's okay. Wet a sponge (per the package dilution) and fold it around
the grass and gently pull it through the sponge. It think it is much
easier to pull the weeds by hand after the soil is soaked. I had a
mean and thorny 5-foot thistle plant that I wrapped with a garbage bag
then sprayed it with RoundUp--it took three applications spaced two
weeks apart to finally kill it.
