[QUOTE="ccr, post: 1684999, member: 28887"] Brute, we have a small 20 gallon yard sprayer we pull behind the lawnmower. Trying to calculate a calibration wasn't working out. To simplify calibration, fill the tank with water only and see how many gallons it puts out (on ours we use 10' wide x 100' long = 1,000 sq. ft.). Then we would use the 7.4 oz to what ever the gallons used in our test. I think the key here is to use the recommended rate of chemical per 1,000 sq. ft. and not get hung up on how many gallons that is, other than knowing how many gallons to put in the tank. Does this make sense? We use roundup 365 or a similar product that is glyphosate and per-emergent along with a surfactant. [/QUOTE]
