Anyone else having weed spray pump troubles?

If you use a lot of weed killer, look for "Glyphosate 41%" at a lawn and garden or farm/ag store. It's the generic for Roundup and I have found the 2-1/2 gallon jugs for $60 or less. It mixes 2-1/2 oz. per gallon of water and works as good as Roundup. That makes a lot of spray.

I also buy the cheap liquid soap at Dollar General and put a squirt in a 2 gallon sprayer to act as a surfactant. Seems to make it stick to the shiny leaves.

What I used was a generic Glyphosate weed killer that I got several bottles of at Lowes a couple of years ago. It had that same formulation as Roundup and was a lot cheaper.

I do have a lot of weeds in my day lily beds. Preen would take way too much time to cover the whole area, but I'm sure it would help a lot. I did spray through the fence onto my neighbors fine crop of poison ivy. I considered that the neighborly thing to do.
