I didn't have much success with the spray thing. I have one of those two-gallon sprayers that you pump up. So I measured the RoundUp and poured it in, then filled my one-gallon watering can twice to fill it up. (I don't have the hoses connected yet.) Trouble is, the RoundUp foams madly when you pour water onto it, so I couldn't tell how full the thing was getting. Next thing I knew, the water was flowing over the top. So I poured off a little and put the plunger in, then was faced with the problem of pressurizing the cannister.
See, when it's full like that, you can pressurize it fully after one or two pumps. Then you spray for about 5 seconds before having to pump it again. So I did that for awhile until it got really old. It seemed that most of what was coming out was air anyway; I might have debris clogging the hose somewhere. Then I got tired of it and quit. Maybe Monday, if the weather's good, I'll pour off some of the stuff into a bucket and see if that works. After spending an hour running the hose and nozzle to clean out the gunk. Fun.
