I don't believe I just fertilized my weeds!!!!?!?!?!?!?!
« on: May 24, 2017, 01:31:13 PM »
I forgot which of the two spray tanks is used for fertilizer and which for Roundup.  Found the smaller one first that had a bunch of mix left over so I used it.

Turned out to be the fertilizer solution.  Further search found the Roundup sprayer which is clearly marked for weed killer.   Mixed up a new batch and went at it.  I hope this never happens again!!!  It's too hot out there !!!!!!!

Just be glad you didn't fertilize your mango trees with round up.

I bought 3 sprayers. Each is labelled. One says fertilizer only. One herbicides only. One pesticides only. The herbicides and pesticides are also labelled with skull and crossbones, in case the user cannot read.  Then if there is left over in the tank it gets a label on tape as soon as it goes into storage.... its the only way.

Practice making skull and crossbones in permanent markers and put them on sprayers you use for weed control, problem gone.

Used the correct tank this time and used FRESH Roundup. This is most important.

 When I lived In Charlotte, NC I had a contractor put in 5 large trees that would shade the south facing deck. He said it's ok to use leftover last years Roundup for flower bed clean up but for fast removal of grass sod for tree panting it must be fresh!!!

Embrace the mistake as the beginning of a new lifestyle. Roundup has cancer-causing chemicals that poison your yard and our water reserves, and cause abnormalities in local wildlife due to runoff. On the other hand, most plants referred to as "weeds" actually are edible, highly medicinal, anti-inflammatory and/or anti-cancer, plus are native and grow without any supplemental water or fertilizer or care or chemicals. They can save you a ton of money in produce at the grocery store and medical costs every year. The way you're doing it now actually it all backwards... so embrace the mistake!

To start you off, learn about the amazing health benefits of purslane, dollar weed, amaranth, and dandelion, which are 4 common Florida "weeds" which have high nutritional value, and are favored in other countries for their flavor in foods, not to mention their amazing medicinal properties. There's a huge amazing world out there we know next to nothing about, which would cure nearly all the ills of our "modern" society" if we were not so beholden to corporate interests that we kill the food and medicine that grows in our yards for free.
