Gallup - when, where, how much?

    Using Gallup to kill weeds around a residential yard adjacent to a lawn.

    The weeds would be quite light, I actually dug up most of them but presume it would be as well to spray anyway to kill off roots and stunt their inevitable return. One or two banks would be heavy enough alright.

    For that use, how much per 5 litres? Have the information sheet but it seems undersyandably geared towards agricultural users, dealing in hectares and depending on crop etc. For use around the house how much would you put in a 5 litre sprayer? And how close to grass can it be used - does it seep and kill everything for metres around or only attack whatever it comes into contact with?

    Gallup contains the same Active substance as Roundup -Glyphosate

    There is no seepage but you need to be very wary of spray drift.

    100ml per 5 liters should be enough. you need to pick a dry day for spraying and make sure there is no wind, as weedkiller will kill everything he touch. make sure you wear gloves and there is no kids pets around when you spraying and after for couple of hours. dont walk on weeds you have sprayed
