I am always very careful with chemicals...look like a spaceman
when applying them. I followed the directions on the product label. I
did not just pour it out on the ground! The stuff was very expensive, and
I have better sense than just to waste it on the ground by pouring it out
of the jug. I am just reporting my experience with it, and I can assure
you that I will never buy it again. What I bought could have been a bad
batch or superstrength. I don't know.
