Hi, I have a small raised bed sowed (Sharpes Express) and usually spray with bluestone mix for blight. Can this be applied with a watering can or do I need to wash out my sprayer normally used for roundup. Would be alot handier to use watering can! |

Yes to watering can. Definatly not to use sprayer if it has traces of roundup in it. Why not buy a second sprayer pump action 5lt size for anything other than Roundup. |

Aldi/Lidl often do small sprayers, worth it for the job. |

Keep tools for weedkiller and non-weedkiller separate.
I'd use a sprayer for blight, but not one that had been used for weedkiller.
Dunno how you'll get a watering can to cover the undersides of the leaves, unless you've gallons of the mix. Still, adhesion may be an issue. |
