===============================================



	One 2 gallon garden sprayer + water + 1 jug of glyphosate = one damn 
string trimmer still hanging on the hook gathering dust.
:-)
	Caution: do not drink it, do not wear it and do not go silly with it 
and all will be fine.
:-)


Note: Buccaneer brand is only about 1/3rd the cost of Round-up.
