How much should I add to the mixed weedkiller?

The answer that I've heard is not very much. Judging by how small the quantity you get compared to a gallon of product you use it with, it must be small indeed. I used it. Did it do any good? I have no idea. I killed my weeds when I used it, just like I killed my weeds when I didn't. This is one product that would take a lot of scientists doing a lot of controlled experiments over a long period of time, to verify. To muddy the waters even more, I've heard liquid dish soap does the same thing, so I throw in some dish soap with my weed killer. Does that work better? I have no idea. Sheesh!

Hello, The directions are to "mix 1 Tablespoon of Bonide Turbo-Sticker to 1 Gallon of prepared spray solution". Hope this helps.

The dilution instructions are based on volume ; I believe it is only 1 tablespoon per gallon, or something similar. A little goes a long way.

It says on the bottle, either 1 teaspoon or 1 tablespoon per gallon of diluted spray, can't remember which.

One Tablespoon of Bonide to One gallon of prepared spray solution, not only for weed killer. This is the company's recommendation so go with it.

Depending upon the weed types (tough to kill or not), you could try anywhere from a 1 to 3 to a 1 to 6 ratio. I used 1 to 6 and was able to spray everything that needed killin' on my suburban 80 x 120' Florida lot. The odor is very powerful, like you'd crushed 1000 orange peels in your yard. By the next day most weeds were wilted and black. Within 3 or 4 days, they were gone. It's much like a high concentration of acetic acid (vinegar). It burns the weed from the ground up.Hope it works ok for you.TXMP

Formula is Length x Width x dept x 7.48 = gallons The amount of copper sulfate should never go above 2.0 parts per million(ppm) I use a 2 gallon Hudson sprayer and mix 6 ounces(granulated) per gallon for my smaller rather odd shaped rather shallow 1/4 acre farm pond. This has proved to help eliminate most of the green slime type of algae I have a problem every season. I generally give it a second booster treatment mid-season without any danger to the stocked fish I have in the pond. When mixing the product I use a five gallon plastic bucket(product is very corrosive)and always made sure to strain the mixed product when adding it to your sprayer, I use an old piece of a discarded t-shirt, works perfect. Unstrained it will clog your sprayer tip. The spray should not be a real fine spray but adjusted to more of a splatter type setting.

MissGinner, It depends on the target weed. The label has variable rates from 1.33 oz per gallon of water all the way up to 5.33 oz per gallon depending on what you're trying to kill. I believe most weeds can be controlled using 1.33 to 2 oz per gallon but in the end, it will be the targeted weed which determines which rate to use. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

You have to mix this product first. It can be harmful to some plants at too high of a concentration.

I use about 1 jug per acre. Half as broad spray which uses more and half as spot treatment which is more efficient but involves more work. Hope this helps.

I mix it with Roundup Extended Control and use about a pint of both to 2 gallons of water. I think the previous answers about using 100% must be talking about another product. I spray this on a field in back of my house that is about 70 by 200 feet and in about a week it kills all the weeds and shrubs. The active ingredient of this is triclopyr and it's concentration is 8.8 percent of this product. "Ready to use" brush killers are at best 1 percent.

Anyone buying this product is assumed to be trying to kill trees or large heavy shrubs like buckthorn. Don't use water to mix. Use diesel fuel---about 3 parts diesel to 1 part triclopyr. Liberally paint the mix onto the base of your unwanted trees or shrubs---right above the roots and all the way around the stem. It will get absorbed into the roots and within a few days kill the tree. Don't use it for general weed killing---too expensive.

According to the label, the mix ratio varies, depending on the type of sprayer and what kind of grass you are spraying. Here is a link to a .pdf of the entire label, and about page 8 shows a chart for various mixing. http://www.fertilome.com/ProductFiles/10525%20Weed%20Free%20Zone%20Approved%2012-10-12.pdf

A quote from homeguides.sfgate.com; I hope it helps. Roundup Weed & Grass Killer Super Concentrate can be applied around ornamentals, vegetables and shrubs. Mix 1.5 ounces (3 tablespoons) of herbicide to 1 gallon of water to renovate an entire lawn, or to eradicate weeds and grasses that are easy to kill. For tougher jobs, such as vines or perennials weeds, mix 2.5 ounces (5 tablespoons) to 1 gallon of water. Applied at full strength, this formula will kill stumps and bamboo. Follow the label for how to apply it and the proper dosage. (Written by Diana K Williams, certified master gardener)

Im sorry but I don't know , I never mix more than I will use in a few days in my sprayer , from past experience when I left already mixed insecticide or weed killer in my sprayer it clogged my sprayer because it the chemicals got chunky but I don't know if Demon will , I did call # on the Demon WP label to confirm shelf life of unmixed powder & was told over 5 years so you may want to call them & ask . I do love the results if the product hope this , hope this helps

Sorry, I can not answer that. I have only used this on tall fescus, And so far my results are 50/50 on controlling bermuda. This is a tough weed.!

No needNo need to mix. Just attach the garden hose and the sprayer will mix the correct amount. I also bought the 1 gal. and I just pour it into the 1 qt. sprayer .

I don't know what the ratio would be...I would just add a little bit, taste, and add more if I wanted more. It is the same stuff, just less diluted.

First follow the Mixing Measurements on the Package, if you mix the Miracle Grow to strong you WILL BURN your Lawn or Plants, I still have a dead spot from 2 years ago. Second use about 1 or 2 cups of Hot water to dissolve the Miracle Grow granules then add cold water for the rest of the solution.
