Question that was not answered was using that hand wand on the spot sprayer is how many gallons do you think it would take to cover that 1 1/2 acre. If it would take 1/2 a tank the mixture would be way different than if it would take 2 tanks to cover the area. I myself have no idea about how much water that type of sprayer would use to cover that area. Never tried to just ground cover with mine, just trees. So would one tank be enough to do that 1.5 acres or would he have to haul a second tank up to cover the area. Once that is figured out then time to start figuring rate of mix. So if it would take 10 gallons of water to cover that 1.5 acre the mix of roundup to water would be way different than if it took 50 gallons to cover the same area. I have done a lot of spraying with a boom sprayer so I can calculate that without problems, just do not know about how much a hand held sprayer would put on per acre. Would depend on how fast you can walk or with his 25 gallon unit would he be having to do a circle around sprayer and move it or pulling on a trailer behind a moving garden tractor. Getting the gallons of water figured out is first then the rate and those directions do nothing to figure out gallons the area will take to cover. So about what he needs to do is take the sprayer with just water and spray the area first and figure out how many gallons of water he used to cover the area and that is how many gallons of total mix he needs to make up using the correct rate for what he is wanting to kill. You all are good on amount of concreant to use, just isn't telling him total amount of mix he needs. If somebody has a better sujestion as to figure out total gallons of water needed I would like to hear it. At 1 pint to acre you might need 5 gallons of water mix or you migke need a 1 pint to 30 gallon mix depending on how wet you get the weeds and ground.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
