A dye for spraying weeds

[Walkin Horse]

I was out today spraying weeds. I have a bad jinsom weed problem. The fence lines are easy to keep track of but the ones that are growing random in the open are hard to keep up with. Does anybody use a dye to keep up with what's been sprayed. I'm spraying with a 25 gal sprayer in the back of my mule. I try to look for wet leaves but sometimes you miss ones. I figure there's places I'm over spraying and places I'm missing. So if they had a little temporary color it would help.

TSC carries a dye for use in spraying. Most farm supply stores will carry that product or something similar.

Thanks. I never checked. I was just out riding and spraying and I thought of this. Thanks

They also carry a blue dye for ponds which works great for spraying and is significantly cheaper than the dye for spraying is.

The die at TSC is good stuff. A tiny bit of it goes an extremely long way, an ounce will color maybe 25 gallons. Particularly nice is that it disappears after about 30 minutes or an hour; you can't tell tomorrow that you sprayed an area today, but you can tell where you left off 30 minutes ago.

Kinda of a ditto post but I bought a blue dye for using in my back pack sprayer. A little goes a very long way. With my sprayer, too much dye will clog the sprayer so don't use too much. I bought the dye from the farm store.
