Mix 1 to 1 glyphosate and water/crop oil with a little dawn.
About quart or so in this will last long time. Pour back in jar after use to store.
Lot safer than dipping gloved hand in mixture.
Stay on label.
Are you saying to use that in the wick bar? We use straight Roundup. If you use Roundup you don't need the other ingredients.

For true nasty weed like thistles and mares tail I use 2,4,D or Crossbow.

Mix with water, spray and the weed dies in a week.

We just went thru a hurricane, and i mean we were in the eye. It was pretty crazy, even just 80-85 MPH winds.

My internet is down, but i will take a pic of the target weed and show how it’s nestled into the lantana. You will then see there is no spraying, unless i wish to kill the good plant too.

Thank you for your comments and i will post back soon. Thx, tstex

I use a diluted mix to move it through the wick better. The straight RUp seems to gum up and is hard to clean.
I used a 10’ wick bar to battle resistant Pigweed in a field that had been rented out for several years.
My tenant basically raped all the nutrients out of my fields and left me a bumper crop of it.
I had to take the Chemical Applicator test in MS to buy Paraquat to kill it. Took 3 years to eradicate it.
Trying to clean straight chemical out to keep it from gumming up was a bear.
Old farmer advised to cut it 50/50 with diesel. I still use some of that mix in the small wick bar to get the random pigweed, it last a loooong time wiping on.
Wife uses a Rup mix in hers around flowers.
Worked lot better for me.
