[Shop-talk] Recommendations on yard sprayer

[John Babiarz]

 Scott,Do yourself a favor and get one of these:
https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-ONE-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-2-Gal-Chemical-Sprayer-with-2-0-Ah-Battery-and-Charger-Included-P2830A/303365816
With an area that size, you'll be glad to not have to stop and pump the thing upby hand continually. I had one of those (or similar) but after getting the Ryobi,I won't go back. They have a 1 gallon model also, along with a kit that includesa holster/strap setup. You'll have to check the Home Depot site though, asthey are the only one that carries Ryobi stuff (other than ebay/Amazon)...
With salt, you'll just want to run a bit of fresh water through it when you're done.The 'mist' is adjustable, so you can do it lightly or in a heavier stream.
Good luck!jb

 I have this thing:

I'm trying to keep weeds at bay--in the driveway and near the garage, and in those rocks in my previous post which sprout grass each spring. My plan was to use that sprayer to hose down the rock garden with a mixture of vinegar and salt and kill the little bastards before they germinated. 
That sprayer is useless for that--it produces a tiiny, thin spray that is really only useful for individual tiny weeds in cracks in pavement. And even that takes forever.
The 'rocked area' is maybe 2000 sq. ft. total, and I want to inundate the area--I pulled them all by hand this year or used a driveway/roofing torch to burn them away but they're already re-sprouting.

Anybody have a sprayer that can cover some area they recommend?
