Anyone know if I have wasted my time spraying grass at 3pm today? I planned to get it done this morning at 9-10am but brand new Hills knapsack unit had to be returned. Trip to town that took me over three hours by the time I got back. I get back and assemble the new unit, only to find it too was faulty with a different issue. Battled for around an hour before cracking it and storming off. Spent 45mins on the net and found low pressure is a common issue on Hills spray units.
Back to the new house and completely dismantle the spray unit. I find the seal had not been lubed from factory and was half hanging off. Lubed the seal with rubber grease and reassembled the unit and at 3pm I was finally able to spray.
I took a day off work to get the weeds sprayed, as we rarely get a weekend without rain lately. But my concern is the dew will set in around 7-8pm tonight, will this ruin my spraying? I have always sprayed in fine weather early in the day in the past but here in Tas fine days can be really hit and miss in winter and with the BS I had to go through to get a working unit wasted most of my annual leave day pretty much. .
I tried Google but seemed to have mixed opinions.
