Default Is there a better way to remove a poison oak plant than witha chainsaw?

One question.

Since the typical use would be to add detergent to the hose water that is
sprayed out, can we suck ONLY from the container?

Or do we still need to hook the garden hose to the sprayer?

(The reason I ask is that the area it's needed is hundreds of feet from
the nearest garden hose spigot.)

Methinks you will need the garden hose hooked up also. Even the cheap
pressure washers use 1.8 gallons per minute so you would need a 55
gallon drum to give you any spray time at all and that could get quite
expensive depending on herbicide used.
