    Ok... I'm doing research here... it seems that "jolt" does everything that Bin-die does..

    I'm guessing Jolt is the better product.. ??



    why would anyone use bin-die ??

    l'm guessing it is bromoxynil, so safe on buffalo as long as you follow directions (and dont go stupid with application rates as suggested on another forum....)

    Only a worry if you realise you forgot to add the spray dye
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    Ok...I'm reading the label of Jolt... It seems alot more dangerous than Bin-die .. white cotton overalls ...etc

    Now, I'm reading the mixing directions... Its says "5lts in 200-500lts"

    Can someone who is better at math than me...and has has experience with this product tell me how they would mix up an 18 back pack sprayer ?

    thanks

    here it is.

    5 ltr = 300 ltr
    1 ltr = 300 divided by 5
    1 ltr = 60 ltr

    ? ltr = 15 ltr

    Now you only need a calculator.

    So basically you just change 300 to whatever volume you like

    Had a nice old fella tell me he bought some new fangled weed killer that doesn't hurt the lawn. Showed me a dead spot in his front Kikuyu lawn. I thought that's not too unusual, but then showed me his back couch area and it's dead too.

    I asked him what the herbicide was and it was Kamba M & he assured me he mixed a 5 litre sprayer as directed on the bottle.

    Later I noticed the 1 litre Kamba bottle in his shed & there was only about ¼ litre left.

    750ml: 5 litres = slightly overstrength.

    Can anyone give advice on broadleaf weed spraying and fertilising of larger areas of lawn. Specifically best ways and what equipment is needed to apply to these larger areas.
    We have ZTR's

    1.25 acres
    1.8 acres
    3.5 acres
    5.1 acres

    Some of these lawns have smaller concrete areas, paths etc running through and or bordering them

    Areas this size I pass the job onto a contract sprayer. He uses a 4 wheeler with a 6ft boom spray on the smaller areas & 12ft boom on his 4x4 on larger properties. Fertilising is with a small trailered broadcast spreader.
