We often have a situation in which difficult weeds are growing too close to our good plants, and herbicide spray might drift to the good plants.
Herbicide application can be handled by brushing the herbicide solution onto the weeds.

I have done this for years. Works like a charm. Another method I use often is to place a jar, bucket or other container over the good plant and spray the undesired junk around it. I also take the lid off large plastic storage bins and use as a shield against the borderer of flower beds to spray there or often you can shield your plant that way and spray. When I'm done, I wash my lid well with soap and water in the bathtub and it can go back on my storage bin. [email protected]
