 Scott,Do yourself a favor and get one of these:

With an area that size, you'll be glad to not have to stop and pump the thi=

Good luck!jb

I'm working on creating a border around my barn so I can mow without
trimming so I've been researching the same issue.

Most of those sprayers have an adjustment at the tip to go from a
stream to a wider pattern. Twisting the tip on that thing doesn't
change anything?

If that doesn't work then get yourself another sprayer. Then buy
something like this:
https://www.homedepot.com/p/RM43-32-oz-Total-Vegetation-Control-Weed-Killer-and-Preventer-Concentrate-76502/205748220

There are a ton of brands out there. Hose the area down with something
like that and everything will be dead within a couple weeks and stay
that way until next year.

I use a couple sprayers depending on what I need to do.  For large 
areas, I have an Ortho "Dial N Spray" hose-end type sprayer like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Ortho-Spray-Multi-Use-Hose-End-Sprayer/dp/B0071D0EZK

I use this when spraying the main yard.

I also have this Field King brand manual backpack sprayer:

https://www.amazon.com/Professional-190328-Backpack-Sprayer-Killing/dp/B000AYHKUO

Holds 4-gallons of pre-mixed solution and I strongly recommend these 
over the manual pump sprayer like you tried to use.

Now, I did swap the nozzle for a "TeeJet" style nozzle that makes a 
better fan spray (sorry, I don't remember where I bought them...maybe at 
the local Southern States store).  If you do the same, TeeJet makes 
dozens of agricultural nozzles so I recommend you look up the TeeJet 
charts to pick the one(s) that create the droplet size and spray pattern 
that you want.

For a 2000-sqft area, I'd probably use the hose-end sprayer.  The 
backpack sprayer would work fine but you might need to fill it more than 
once depending on your dilution rate.

(I also have a couple small pump sprayers like you tried to use but 
they're only good for spot spraying.  I wouldn't want to use one for 
more than 100 sqft)...

Scott - I have a HF backpack sprayer that I highly.
https://www.harborfreight.com/4-gallon-backpack-sprayer-63092.html
Click the coupon link at the top right of the page and they are 
currently $19.99.  I've been using it for several years now after having 
1 and 3 gal pump up bottles like yours.  It is so much nicer to not 
carry the bottle.  The big pump handle is also much easier to use and 
take many less pumps.  The nozzle is adjustable to make it easier to 
spray broad areas.  I do recommend taking a moment to make sure all the 
fittings are tight before first use.

I have several brick patios and a bunch of railroad tie steps. About 
every three weeks during weed season I mix up three gallons of a now 
evil commercial weed killer and make a round up and down the property.  
That seems to be a good balance for me.  Late in the season, I might 
drop to two gallons.

Howdy,

I have a gravel driveway I started spraying.  Similar area to the OP.

I bought a Milwaukee backpack sprayer.  I already have a bunch of Milwaukee
stuff, so that one made sense for me.

https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Outdoor-Power-Equipment/Sprayers/2820-21PS

It's awesome.  I would NEVER go back to a pump sprayer.  Don't get me
wrong, I didn't really like paying for it, but every single time I use it
I'm glad that I have it.

Mark

As an aside, if you follow the label instructions, and spray in the proper
wind conditions, and wear a respirator, you shouldn't have any problems.
Oh, wear gloves and wash your hands afterwards.

In addition to spraying, take a look at Preen Weed Preventer. It is very
effective at preventing germination, so the weeds never appear.

Most of those sprayers have an adjustment at the tip to go from a<br>
stream to a wider pattern. Twisting the tip on that thing doesn&#39;t<br>
change anything?<br>
<br>
If that doesn&#39;t work then get yourself another sprayer. Then buy<br>
something like this:<br>

<br>
There are a ton of brands out there. Hose the area down with something<br>
like that and everything will be dead within a couple weeks and stay<br>
that way until next year.<br>
