[QUOTE="Kentucky Windage, post: 223534, member: 429"] light and distinct winds. Use wind direction to your advantage to control drift. You may need a couple few different wind directions to get your entire yard sprayed. It doesn’t need to be done all at once. IME, it is almost impossible to accurately apply herbicides properly when dealing with hand sprayers. You have multiple inconsistent variables (ground speed, rate and pressure most notably) working against you. You won’t consistently walk the same speed, keep your arm locked like a real boom, and your rate and pressure are all variable because they rely on what you’ve provided it via the hand pump. Don’t let this bother you, just do the best you can. Know what the what the labeled rates are are try to spread that amount of hercide over the known measured area. I always opt for the high end of every rate. Kill things more dead than less dead. Have multiple sprayers for different products. Example: one sprayer for glyphosate (non-selective), one for 2,4-D (selective). You won’t be as likely to use a contaminated sprayer and kill non target plants. Wear safety equipment and do not bring clothes you were wearing while spraying in the house. Drop them at the door. Be aware of what you handle and then touch afterwards. Do not walk through your treated areas during application. Always walk where you haven’t sprayed backing away from the treated area. I’ve seen roundup sprayed in an area, someone walk through it, and then walk off into the grass leaving kill spot footprints into their yard. Is that better LuvsCatchingBass? [/QUOTE]
