The directions say to spray both sides of the leaves. Does that mean you can't just spray it, but have to search out every leaf to get both sides?

I didn't intentionally spray the backs of the leaves. I got fruit from the plants, I think just as much as I got the year before, on plants I didn't have to spray.

I sprayed it liberally, but did not search out every single leaf. It worked for me, but I guess it might depend on how bad the condition of the plant.

I sprayed with a pump sprayer and did the best I could do, especially the lower affected leaves. It did work. My cousin told me about it. Then the darn frost got them before they ripened.

I honestly didn't pay that close attention to the backs of the leaves. But, hydrangea leaves are quite large so I probably inadvertently got some on the backs of them. Also, I removed the worste of the infected leaves. One of my plants I trimmed down to the stalk and used the spray on new growth - which worked perfectly.

Not sure. Directions don't say but probably more effective sprayed or dusted directly on diseased shrub etc.

I wish I could provide a good answer to your question but I really don't know much you should dilute it. I'd suggest you contact your local County or State Agricultural Extension Agent to determine the correct mix of this herbicide & water to spray on a specific plant. I used it full strength (no dilution) when I applied it to the Chinese Tallow trees I was trying to kill, and from the results I've seen in a very short time, I can say it's a VERY STRONG & effective herbicide. It's so strong that it might have been effective (in my case) if I'd diluted it 50-50 water & herbicide. Regardless of how much it's diluted, you'll need to use extra care to avoid having it contact ANY nearby vegetation that you don't want to kill. Wish I could have been more helpful.

Never had mine do that. I adjust the legs if it is crooked. Then play with those thinwires around the neck to adjust the width of the spray circle. there are two thinwires around the neck. Perhaps yours are together somehow. If that is thecase the adjust the wires by pulling them around. One should allow the sprayer to go left and the other to right.

I have not done it this way before. It may work you can try it on a different flower and see what happens. Also if you go to a craft store they may have a better idea to help with that.

I use a pump up sprayer and my lawn is Centipede. I was overrun with nut sedge after a hurricane and it took 4 applications to destroy the weed. That was over a year and a half time frame. Just now we are using it once again for a wild violet that blew in during wind gusts. So far one application has withered the outer leaves only I see fresh shoots starting. Unfortunately the day I spayed this area had a cloud burst, where else but over my lawn. I hope someone who has St Augustine will share their findings with you. As far as the Image goes in controlling weeds, I don't use anything else. This product works if directions are followed as stated on label. Scots001.

follow the instructions in the back, and pay attention it says do not overdose! its better if you start dosing it with a lower amount, just so your plants get used to it... some plants cant take it that well, so start with small amount's...

Keep it where sunshine hits it, inside or out it does well in cool weather outside, but I place it in my patio window. I spray the leaves and it flourishes for me. Spray when outdoors is too cold. Willa

I found its not very easy, but doable. I vigorously shake the container first (doesn't do much to rid it of the clumps) but I think it distributes the ingredients in the container if needed. Then I measure out the amount to go in water. Since I use a pump sprayer its fairly easy to VIGOROUSLY SHAKE the pump sprayer after adding the 3&1 to the measured out water. Then I pump it to pressure and spray one plant. While moving to the next plant I shake the sprayer again. Since its never clogged the nozzle I think that pretty much works. One thing - after spraying it really does create a not-too-pleasant odor. But the stuff does work on powdery mildew which is the main problem I use it for.

Sorry but I don't have a video. I followed the owner's manual and had no problem. Following the step by step instructions allowed me to successfully complete my 1st project. If you follow the instructions and you still can't get it to spray, check the troubleshooting section for resolution.

You could actually do either way. I did mine right to left as shown because it fit my wall perfectly. But if you do left to right then you have to flip the branch (do a 180 degree) and the smaller leaves and branches are facing down as if the leaves are falling like fall. If you flip it then it comes out the opposite wall. Either way works!

I do not know what you mean by one direction, but I will tell you how it can be used. It is an oscillating sprinkler which can be adjusted as to how far to the left or to the right the spray covers. if you want just the left side covered it will do that. I like the feature that adjusts the width of the spray. I have a narrow strip of grass and bushes in my back yard that I needed a sprinkler that could be adjusted to water the narrow strip without also watering my driveway. I believe this sprinkler will do what you want. I was hesitant to spend so much for a sprinkler, but I am very happy with my purchase.

By the way the only reason I recommended you to spray your test area in a part of yard where the sun mostly hits that spot is because you will see the results faster than if you sprayed it in a shady spot in your yard. The results will be the same in both spots the only difference is the amount of time it takes to see the results. Make sure you mow your grass first, make sure your yard the grass and weeds are dry when you mow and then spray shortly after that same day. The reason why is because you need to think of the weeds as a human arm or finger. If you have cut on your arm or finger it's very vulnerable to infection as soon as it's cut. The same is true with weeds or any other form of vegetation. I've also sprayed this Spectracide when the temp was close to 90 degrees. I just diluted the mixture after I used it on my text area. I apologize if I'm bothering you. I just wanted to explain myself a little more since I've been using this for a long time. I don't remember how long but it's been long enough to where I won't use anything else besides Drexel for killing everything a 15 foot tall that was growing in a tricky spot out at my shop, spraying it around the bottom of my trees in my yard, spraying around my house, knocking out my house and shop's driveways. Anyways... Goodluck!

I only know this product and it's fabulous. But I understand....it gets painful to spray an decent sized area with this method. You could empty it into a spray tank and use it that way. I wouldn't mix anything with it. That's the only recommendation I have.

Either way is fine. I use a sprayer and mix it with fish fertilizer, black strap molasses, and kelp. I spray the leaves heavily and let it run into the soil.

Yes, you can use only one leaf or two. The size would be reduced by the leaf depth (12")

I never even thought about that. I've already installed mine and from what I can remember, it is symmetrical so it doesn't matter which side faces the mulch. Hover, it comes rolled up and has natural curve so you want to lay it to maintain the curve rather than bend it the opposite way from the curve. As a result, you don't have a choice which side faces the mulch and which side faces the grass - it depends on which one is on the "inside" of the curve of the edging. I suggest that you leave it in the sun to warm up so that way it is then easier to unroll.
