Get rid of weeds around your property the easy way!

What happens here

Unscrew the large cap on top of the 25-gallon Fimco spray tank and fill it with water. The video demonstrates using a hose to fill the tank. While filling, consider the type of herbicide you intend to use. Both organic and inorganic options (like glyphosate-based products) are available. Select the herbicide that is most effective and cost-efficient for your specific needs. It's important to remember that most weed and grass killers, especially glyphosate, contain salts, which can corrode metal. Therefore, minimize contact with any metal surfaces to prevent damage. Before beginning, ensure the driveway is clear of anything you don't want to get sprayed, such as vehicles, pets, or other sensitive items.

Goal: Fill the 25-gallon spray tank with water and decide on the appropriate herbicide (organic or inorganic) for your weed control needs, keeping safety and environmental impact in mind.
