Trimec mixing ratio... help
Damn lawyers. My bottle of Roundup and trimec both have "directions for
use" that run about 10 pages full of legalese crap. After reading it, I still have no idea how strong to mix it. They give units like "ounces per acre". WTF ??? I have a 3 gallon sprayer. How much Trimec do I mix in ? I'm killing run-of-the-mill weeds in a Mid-Atlantic fescue lawn. Of course, I want to kill the weeds, but not the grass. This means I need to get this right. Roundup mixing is easier since I want everything to die...so over-kill costs me some money but not grass. I think I have a good ratio figured for this. Thanks |

Trimec is 1.5 oz per 1000 sg ft, so you can use that for your pump sprayer mixture.. 1.5 X how ever many gallons you want to mix..just wet the foliage, and don't do it if it's above 84 degrees, or on bentgrass. |

Got it. Thanks. That's about what I figured. How long does Trimec need to dry before rain or watering ? Two days ? |
