    Having spent time looking for a good weedkiller, I am frustrated because of the poor quality of sprayguns available. I have bought several 5 litre ones in my time - pump up the pressure then spray, but they all end up spraying very little or the sprayhead doesn't stop spraying when you release the trigger, or well ... I hope you get the picture. Is there a GOOD spraygun out there - probably not made in China?

    I dont actually spray weedkiller, it goes everywhere if you do, I use a sprayer with it set fairly coarsely so I can put the weed killer on the plants I'm aiming at and not the ones I dont.

    As for sprayers I just use the cheap ones.

    I bought a Hozelock Pressure sprayer 5L recently and it works fine , note although the total volume is 5L the usable is 3 L this is clearly stated on the product description, but there are still complaints, 3 L worked fine for me. I did add the lance accessory for better reach.

      I replaced my old Hoselock ( it needed so many replacement parts it wasn't worth it) for a Gardena one and I'm very pleased with it. Mostly used for foliar feeding with seaweed.

      I'd never use a sprayer that has contained weedkiller for anything other than weedkiller, which is why I use the cheapo ones.
