What does it call for on the label? 2.5 oz a gallon?
Hell, good point, it may. I never read a label I just mix it at the rate I'm looking for control mentioned above. This I learned from hearing, growing up in family with farm.

That's what I do too. I have no idea what it calls for. I just know that one of this little cup at the barn is for 5 gallons of water with roundup

Whew, I expected you to rightfully tell me how wrong and dangerous it was not to read labels.

Haha no way. I've worked on a farm for a good while. The only time I really measure is when I'm mixing like 150 gallons of roundup or any of that really expensive shite. Roundup, 2-4D, and sevin get mixed by the cup meathod

Thats the main reason i quit using Round up, i was having to mix double the amount to get the results i was looking for and the stay dead period was not as long as Conerstone.

Now i will add the Conerstone takes about 5-7 days to really start to notice it's working so if you try it dont get pissed, cause it's a slow release time, but once it turns brown, it will continue killing and looks like to me will kill and other weeds that may try and pop up.

If you're spraying a fence line, BE SURE to keep the nozzle low to the ground or it will kill grass wider than you will want.

Also be sure NOT to get it on your good plants, i have yet to see something it would not kill.

Good stuff. We use it alot on fences and shite like that. More impressive results than roundup IMO.
