If you use a sprayer with a want, put an inverted plastic cup on the end and
touch the cup opening to the stuff you want to get rid of.

The cup acts a shield and restricts the area of application.

"Gail Futoran" You're digging it
round, when it aughta Be SQUARE

I'm about to give up on pulling weeds from my
rose beds and start applying Roundup selectively
(and very very carefully).

My concern is the humidity, which is currently 74%.
I seem to recall reading somewhere that it's not
a good idea to apply Roundup near plants you
want to keep if the humidity is over 50%.

Anyone out there have experiences to share about
Roundup and roses?

I used to be a spray guy in the late 80's another way to apply round
up is on a wick, instead of spraying if you want to be careful.

Round-up can kill trees too.
up to IIRC a 1/4" trunk or so.


Ok, thanks. My husband recommends using
one of those things for washing dishes with
a little reservoir and sponge on one end. Sounds
similiar to your "wick" recommendation.
