Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have about 5 acres of grass, home foundation, landscaped trees and shrubs, 6 property borders, cleared woodland and 3 small pine barrens to maintain, so forgive me for not using a weed eater. Glyphosate is my go-to solution for weed control. However, I think the the directions of 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 oz per gallon of water are wrong. First off, this product is 41% glyphosate vrs Roundup at 50% glyphosate, so there is strength in numbers (sorry). I've found that 4 oz per gallon is great for the eradication of baby weeds (weedlings) around the house, and 5 oz per gallon is great for vines, poison ivy, trumpet vine, brush, small trees, etc in the field. Be advised that vines will require multiple applications since the length of the vine and the number of root pods make for an interesting challenge. But, it will kill them. The real reason glyphosate is rain proof in 2 hours is that it is absorbed by the green leafy part of a plant immediately, and interrupts some serious plant biology things. There's nothing left to wash off since it's in the plant. If you're new to glyphosate, here are some tips that you may find helpful: (1) Watch out for the breeze. That little breeze cooling your cheek is spreading this product everywhere. So, if you don't care about that $200 azalia your Mom gave you, then spray away. (2) Use common sense people. Wear gloves and eye protection. I'm almost 70, and don't plan on having anymore kids, but I don't want cancer either. So, just do smart things. (3) Ponds, lakes, streams and your septic tank are living, breathing ecosystems. Try to avoid spraying when this product may be introduced through the airborne spray. Don't worry about spaying NEAR your pond. As soon as glyphosate hits the dirt, it's a wrap. It's bonded to the soil until it breaks down. Just don't flush it down your toilet. (4) For gosh sakes, clean up after yourself. Use up everything you mix, then rinse, rinse, rinse. And then, take a bath, you filthy animal.
