Adding to what greg said. Fill your tank with water spray it out and calculate how many acres you covered.
round up as well as all chemicals are sprayed so many oz, pts, or quarts to the acre, not per tank full of water.
Also the amount of Roundup needed is based on the size of the target weeds or grass you want to kill.
Tall weeds need more roundup to kill than small weeds.

There are times I use 16 oz. and go as high as 40 oz to the acre.
Then you have the additives to go with the Roundup to get a better kill on weeds. That's a whole other story.

Flax provided the fibre which w
