..grabbed the Roundup, measuring cup, and sprayer with the intention of spraying the perimeter of the back lawn. I used to trim the grass but decided that was way too much work so a couple years ago I began killing anything green within about a foot of the fence. Definitely the way to go as it not only eliminates the need to trim but not having to get super close to the border, also makes mowing a whole lot easier and from the deck forward, you can't see the killed area anyway.

BTW, the reason for the very late start was because it had been UFbelievably hot with stifling humidity for the past few days and I didn't want to begin the spraying until the temp had decreased significantly.

BTW2, I did the same spraying about six weeks ago but in that short time, the weeds had already come back in spades so more Roundup was indicated.

BTW3, this is probably my tenth pump sprayer and I like this one branded by Dewalt the best for multiple reasons. Quality materials and construction, easy disassembly to clean and lube, a good locking pump handle, reinforced vinyl tubing, and a comfortable grip on the wand.
