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?
Thanks for any help


I think I use regular strength round up at about 15-30ml per 5L of water but
check the instructions on the bottle. You also need to use all 5L over the
area specified on the bottle. If you spray it on too thin it won't work as
well.

I thinkk that is where I have been going wrong ....... spraying it too
thinly
Thanks to all who replied
