Hi Beth and All,
 
I have been using Surround the last couple of years on eggplant, cukes, summer squash and winter squash.  I've also been applying it with a Solo (3 gallon) backpack sprayer.  After spraying, I take the wand apart and rinse it out throughly.  I also fill the sprayer up with water and let it flow out the hose without the wand attached.  I didn't do this once, and it took alot of time to "ungunk" everything : ).

I have just bought some Surround to protect my late cuke planting.  Anyone with good or bad experience with the Solo backpack sprayer with Surround?  I don’t want to mess up my expensive sprayer, so need to know whether Surround will clog or wear it please?  I can go buy a cheaper 1 gallon sprayer for the Surround if necessary.  Thank you.
