Use of Roundup

Thanks everyone . Exactly the kind of information I'd hoped for. I'm
feeling quite confident about using it as I'd planned--Small spray bottle.
,, on a windless or low drift day, confined to the bulb areas.. And the
paint brush idea will work wonders on the endless European buckthorn that
keeps turning up wherever it can find a foothold. Kind regards.

I know people who use a paintbrush to apply Roundup to the
stems or root ends of woody shrubs/vines. Apparently it does work,
even though it isn't being applied to foliage.

kMy land slopes down into the woods on three sides and those hillsides
were
covered in honeysuckle bushes when we first moved here. Our technique was
to cut them off close to the ground with the chainsaw and then paint
full-strength Round-Up on the cut stems with a paintbrush. There is very
little
honeysuckle left now.
