I would like to zap weeds growing in the lawn and garden without harming
the grass and plants growing around the weeds. What is the best way to
do it? I saw something called a Weed Stick online, where you supposedly
walk around injecting any kind of concentrated weed killer directly on
the weed. Anyone try it? Would WD40 or gasoline work using a direct
applicator? It sounds like a lot of folks use Roundup, but I find that
it works too slow. It seems to take a couple of days for the leaves to
begin turning brown. Thanks for any suggestions.


For most broadleaf weeds (dandelions, thistles, elm tree seedlings, etc)
2,4-d works really well in a spray bottle. It doesn't work for
"creeping charlie" and I'm not sure if it works for wild violets.

You should be able to buy it premixed in a quart spray bottle. I bought
a quart of the concentrate 10 years ago and I've used less than a third
of it.
