Mother Nature is the best but I can water if needed but I don’t like to

FINALLY, I was able to get the tiller in the Garden after the 7” of rain last week. I think everything is going to survive. Fertilized, put out Treflon, pulled the rows again, and all I lack is putting the Sevin Dust on. I’m pooped, I’ve been out here since 8 but having a Cold Beer right now

Sevin; dust or concentrate you mix with water in your pump up sprayer. JUST MAKE SURE you have never had weed killer in the sprayer, EVER

I think I have some captain jacks, is that stuff any good?

Yes Sir; my Son borrowed my sprayer 6-8 years ago and I rolled my entire garden

I don't know what it is about weed killer, soap and water seems to not get it cleaned out, I about killed a garden one year, finally trashed the sprayer and bought a new one to stop the slow death of the vegetables
today I use a little trigger spray bottle for weed killer (since I dont use much of it at all) only about a quart of less mixed at a time.

I have to use Round up around the place all the time. I have a separate sprayer now with “ Plant Spray Only “ written in Magic Marker. In the big garden I apply a granular made by Ferti-Lome company that contains Treflon. It is NOT a weed and grass killer but a preventer once you have it cleaned
