Ken,

Thanks for the reminder. I'm in exactly the same boat, with my 2nd shot
of Mancozeb in a few days. However, after the weedkiller I rinsed the
sprayer several times & sprayed it thru too. It's been airing out for a
few days now to rid the tank of the odor, which I figure can't be good
for vines either. Maybe I should run some soapy water thru too? What
was the weedkiller? 2,4-D?
