I have heard that it is best to leave the weeds alone and spray them so the leaves can soak in the spray, compared to whacking them down and spraying the roots. Have you tried that? Just curious.

You would think (as do I) you would be better off cutting them down then spraying them but I have tried spraying them with leaves on and it worked well too. Just curious your thoughts on that.

Thats a hefty size load on your gooseneck.

Those houses look great.....I hate when the builders/masons dont cut the curb for a driveway like those. Its like droping off a ledge everytime you back out.

Partially yes. The benefits for weed eating them down is that you don't have to come back to pull the dead weeds.
