Could anyone here advise please on the correct strength of weedkiller
to water mix when spraying with a pressurised sprayer.
I'm not sure whether or not it should be more concentrated or not as
it goes much further with a finer spray etc. I'm using * Roundup * and
am not sure whether the ratio should be stronger than using a watering
can?


There are specific instructions on the container.


Yep but I don't know if its me or that they are a bit ambiguous ?? Is
the mix stronger or weaker using a sprayer than a watering can ?


The box mine came in is quite specific, 'Roundup GC to be added to: Sprayer
1 litre of water, Watering can 5 litres of water.

Can't be any clearer.

Do you still have the box?

As the sprayer covers a wider area, then the mixture is stronger in that.
