You can do it but it's very tedious. Apply with a small brush onto the weed only at the leaf. It will travel down to the root and wither.
Round up only kills what you get it on....add food coloring to the Round-Up so you can see it. Put sprayer down onto leaves/plant you are trying to kill and only spray single plant at a time. Do not spray in any breeze or wind. Get good sprayer that has adjustable spray nozzle so you can control over spraying. Don't use wide spray pattern or hard stream(reduce splashing). Do not use a back-pack sprayer(if it leaks on you you'll be joining lawsuits). Getting the concentrate and mixing your own is best & get a good 2 gallon hand held pump sprayer. Use disposable gloves,do not get in/walk in wet solution.As soon as it dries 1 hour it's safe.Spray then walk backwards to next area/plant,don't walk thru area you just sprayed. If you spill it dilute with lots of water asap. Mix it where you will be spraying or somewhere you can clean up.Yes it's hazardous just as it has always stated on labels. just as hazardous as many household products we use everyday like fertilizers,pesticides, flea & tick meds for our pets,paints,cleaning products.wash up well after using including the clothes you have worn. If you got it on your shoes wash them or toss them.After you have killed off the weeds start pulling the new young ones by hand so you do not continue using Round-Up it has its purpose but should be limited as to being used regularly. long term use is really not good.do not use it around anything you'll be eating or your pets may eat.
