Re: CULT: Creative ways to apply herbicide

Betty, I also got the following note offlist that I thought others would
be interested in hearing.  Did yours leak too?

I've experimented with small, homemade applicators, trying to simplify
applying concentrated Roundup to cut stumps, and also ran into a mess.

Guess I better do some online research before rushing into this, and
will probably buy a cheap sponge mop in the mean time.  Maybe that will
be enough to make the wind quit blowing <g>

Fred, is this your first experience with a wick type?

<I must warn you about those wipe on weeders.  The ad sounded so good
that I ordered one over a year ago.  I
used it once.  The problemit leaked.  I tightened every joint but I had
Roundup coming out every place but
where it was supposed to.  I had it on my shoes, my hands, and dripping
on plants I didnt want it on.  I think its
still in the garage where everything useless gets stashed.  I think a
sponge mop would work better.  At least it
couldnt be worse than the one I tried.>

<....Sideswipe.     I have one, which I use from time to time, but I
find it a bit  awkward.     Betty W. in  South-central KY Zone 6>
