Cindy,
I like the mop method because I am killing weeds in my nursery, I have
trees and shrubs everywhere, and hostas. The drift caused by spraying
could wipe me out. No chance of that w/ painting it on. I'm not sure if
you save on chemical. Maybe use more this way, but safer.
Monty
ps.... I mix LV4 w/ the round-up because it kills the tougher weeds more
effectively.
(LV4 is a form of 24D.)
