I bought some off brand "roundup" and it doesn't like to stick onto what
I spray, it beads up and runs off. Is it OK to add a little dishwashing
detergent to the mix? I have found before that that will make it stick
quite well. Is there any harm?

I always add some liquid soap to any spray. I buy the cheapest brand
that does NOT contain lotion or special scents.

g'day tony,

yes do that but buy a deterget that is not scented up with lots of
additives, maybe one of the earth friendly ones, if unsure you can buy
a wetting agent from the garden shop.
