No matter how carefully you apply glyphosate as the 'weed' dies the chemical will dissolve into the soil Glyphosate is deactivated upon contact with soil, idiot. To the OP: Glyphosate applied directly to the plants you wish to kill is fine. I find it simpler to apply it by hand. I put a heavy plastic/rubber/nitrile glove on my hand, cover that with a cheap cotton glove, and dip it into a bowl containing glyphosate. Then I grab the weed with the gloved hand and stroke it. It gets a good application without dripping or runoff. When I'm done, the gloves go into the trash. |
