Anybody use one? Do they work well. It looks like it would be great for very precise spot treatments and getting those strangler weeds without hoeing or broadcast spraying.

Hand held rope wick herbicide applicator?

Interesting. Nobody has tried them. I ordered one and will report back if it works like I hope it will. I have some rows in the sunflowers that got missed with the sprayer and sesbania and crotalaria have grown head high.

Let us know. I've seen them but never tried one. You getting a hand held one or one that mounts to the tractor bucket?

I wish I had gotten it sooner before the scattered sesbania and crotalaria got to the size of small trees in my sunflowers. It beats the hell out of hoeing.

Yes they work very well. We use them in the peanut fields

I've seen a YouTube video where the guy makes basically the same thing . Been thinking about making one but might buy this instead.
