This is the kind of product that gets hooked up to the end of a garden
faucet.


It contains, roughly :
2,4D 7.6%
Mecoprop-p, 2.7%
dicamba, 0.71%
sulfentrazone, 0.18%


That's if I can believe what I *think* I can see through a 16x loupe
looking
at the front label. Guess the company didn't particularly want anyone to
know what-all was in it?


It was here when I moved in a few years ago. In case it's way expired,
is
there any more harm in spraying it onto the lawn than if it weren't?

Use one ounce (2 Tbsp) per gallon for spot treating. (or 1.5 tsp
per quart)

Hope this helps,

I'd also think 1 to 2 oz. per gallon. Spec for Weed Be Gone which is
similar.

Thanks, all. I think I'll start with the lowest dose, not for the least
reason they seem to have changed the formula a bit.
