    Q
    If I mix a gallon of Fertilome Weed Free Zone and don't use it all that day, how long can I store what is left over?
    A

    When using Fertilome Weed Free Zone or any similar herbicides, we recommend only mixing what you plan to use right away. You should not store diluted product in your spray tank as this will cause the active ingredients to break down, and it may cause damage to your sprayer. We would recommend using diluted product within 24 hours of mixing.
