Will roundup be effective if it rains 5 hour's after application?
roundup is a short life herbicide
That means that once mixed it effective life is deducing
Immediate application is required and the effect starts immediately
One the poison hits the ground it is loosing potency as its work is done
Storing in a clear plastic bottle allows sunlight to render it useless as well
So 5 hours is not a problem
I have a round up bun toaster, and my
for your size unit it is probably the max temp --check with the manufacturer if their is a thermostat up grade to boost temp or will you need a different unit
Can I use diluted Roundup in evergreen carpet?
Hiya while I am not sure of what you mean exactly as an evergreen carpet I do know that if you want a plant or tree to survive don't use round up near it. Roundup is an extremely strong effective herbicide which will kill any living plant (more precisely the leaves) it touches. It also takes very little to kill a plant or tree.
Having said all that. I have had an issue with Lilly of the valley taking over as our property was vacant for 20 years the plants went unchecked all that time. I have tried just about everything else nothing even slowed them down. Of course they are a shade plant and growing under all of my trees that lined the property and are well over 100 years old.
- I got a large pop bottle and punctured 2 holes in the lid and added the Roundup mix into the bottle.
- I collected several sheets of plastic and newspaper. It is my understanding as long as the chemical doesn't touch the other plants or roots they should be ok.
- What you want to do is to apply the round up to the leaves ( no need to soak everything down) Just a few good drops to the leaves of the target plants should do the trick.
- Use the plastic or paper to protect the other plants you want to keep. Wait a week to ten days and you should see them begin to die. Protect all plants from accidental contact. since accidents occur what I did was immediately break or cut the infected leaf then flush the plant really well with water. This worked like a charm for me.
I can honestly say I am finally winning the battle. This year I only had about 2% of the offending plants appear. I am hoping none show up next year but if one or two do survive they wont the next year.
I hope this helps if you have any further questions please feel free to ask. Happy gardening
How do I get the lid off round-off sprayer?
Almost all pump up sprayers are twist off. Push the 'D' handle (used to pump it up also) all the way in. This will have a couple of cogs that lock to the top of the unit. Then twist left (unscrew). It may take a heavy hand to get it started. If you have some silicone spray or grease, then put that on the rubber gasket before putting it back on, it will come off easier.
