However, I have forgotten, and cannot find, the recommended dilution for
ordinary garden use - young nettles, dandelions etc.

Or pro rata, e.g. 100 ml in 5 litres, 10 ml in 500 ml. I'd go for this
higher dilution rate. Takes a bit longer to take effect but has more
time to spread through the whole plant.

Excellent. Thanks Chris. All I could find were rates per hectare or
whatever :-) My Hozelock sprayer failed, so I was delighted to find a
little O ring in the shed, which seems to have cured that problem.

The pumps with the O-ring on the piston quite often appear to stick and
get damaged if forced. It's worth dismantling the pump before this
happens and lub-ing the O-ring sparingly with some silicone grease to
avoid this. I have had one stick a little after some disuse following
treatment but some easy pressure on the pump freed it off.

This was after spraying a water based insecticide.
