WEEDS
I
use a sprayer called a Herbi. The Herbi is a hand held sprayer powered by 4 D batteries
and has a 5 pint tank that can be filled with diluted herbicide.
It is a commercial grade sprayer that can be used on Christmas
trees, fence lines, hardwood plantations and orchards.With a Herbi I can
weed
a 4 acre field of trees in around 3 hours.
Unique
Herbi Microfit system saves time, money and labor. Controlled droplet
or CDA ,
ultra low volume sprayer delivers approximately 250 micron-size
droplets in a 4ft. swath. Conserves chemical, reduces drift and
allows precise control while using up to 40 times less water than
conventional sprayers. Powered by 4 D-cell batteries. One 5 pint
tank treats 3/4 acre. Ideal for applying Roundup, Paraquat, and
other non-selective chemicals. The Herbi can apply Controlled Droplet
Application (CDA) formulas or traditional water-based products at
spray volumes of 5-20 liters/acre. Used worldwide for general clean-up,
border, pathway, or strip spraying, and spraying of large areas
by making consecutive spray passes.
Herbi
sprayer $365 plus shipping.
