If you're starting with a Roundup concentrate, you certainly should dilute
it to the recommended strength. If you're using the off-the-shelf Round-up,
then that's the proper strength.

I will probably start with the diluted stuff and see how it works. I don't
think Roundup is supposed to affect the soil but may be wrong on that.

I will pour it into a tin can and dip the paint brush in that.

I'm going to start painting the leaves tomorrow. Can't spray. Too
many plants and shrubs around.

Are you going to paint it on full strength? I've got a can of the stuff
and am hesitant to use it full strength, but I think that would be most
effective on stubborn, woody nuisances with vast underground root
systems.

One spill or slip, and I'll really mess up the soil. I was going to pour
just what I thought I needed in something smaller over the toilet
(ducking).
