Hi Bill, I have too much garden , but I still weed the hard way! I have to
consider my health, my pets health, and my fish in the pond at the lower
side of my property. I have to admit that my roses demand some spray on
occasion and will get it but not on windy days. I dont want to kill bees or
butterflies or any good guys using insecticides but I do have to spray for
black spot.
I care for seven acres and the tiller, tractor, hoe and my hands and knees
are used much more than the sprayer! If the head banging gets too rough, I
have a helmet , you may borrow it.
