This should help, it does depend on the weeds you have.

Which mug?

I suppose as we have a thread on farm accidents elsewhere i should state that it should be a dedicated spray mug which should be thoroughly washed, marked as chemical container and stored in a chemical lockup at all times.

Apologies I did not quote the exact measurement from the Roundup book of measurements, rough guide only.

Ah its mostly grass growing up through the gravel, went with about 400ml I think. Hope it kills it now! Will see in ten days I guess. Ya wouldn't be long going through roundup if ya had a bit to do.

400ml?? Bit strong I'd say. I put 2.5 l in 300 l of water two weeks ago and everything I sprayed is as black as turf now

Too late now I'd say but half a mug is the measure

Going by kovu's guide I should be using 500ml! Found another container and it was giving figures like that to, I always used 200ml im 15l but not sure if it was roundup or what.

Only problem with round-up is that it has no residual effect. Last year I put 1 litre of Premazon 57 in 300 litre sprayer (approx) with 5 litres of round up. No weeds for rest of year. Says on premazon bottle that needs to be mixed with round up type product to be work right.

Serenading them, giving them bunches of ivy, telling them I loved their earrings and that they their bums didn't look big in that colour of hair.

Would this be a bad time to reopen the ANGLEBERRY thread?:D

The father always claimed that a big branch of Ivy, preferably when covered in berries, would clear them up.

Just chatting to the AI man there and he told me a story that happened earlier this year.

He went out for a call to some house and A.I.ed the cow,grand stuff. There was a young lad of about 4yrs old at the yard watching all and he asked for one of the long gloves. So he gives him a glove and an empty straw and the young fella went off happy as anything with his new toys.
After a while the lad couldn't be found and they go in search of him, then hear a racket coming from the sitting room.
The boy had the cat up on the couch, cushion on top of her and his knee holding it down, poking away with the straw:D:D:D:D

Hahhaha. I had to take the horse in as well as he was in the field on the way to the shed.

A.I man spots the horse on the slats "Oh I see you got into the equine business Karen. Are you hoping to breed from her? I did a couple of mares with A.I. before"

Me- "I doubt he'd be too pleased about it but sure you can give him a go after the cows:pac:
