Help with mixing ratio for Wet & Forget 5:1

7 years ago

My math skills are severally lacking and I'm stopped dead in my tracks and my head is about to explode with trying to figure this out. I have a 2 gallon garden sprayer and I want to know how much one part Wet & Forget and 5 parts water that will best fit into the 2 gallon sprayer. Can someone help me with easy to measure quantities?

42 2/3 oz of W&F and top it off with water to the 2 gal mark. 5 cups of W&F would be close enough, though not precisely 5:1.

1 gallon = 128 oz

2 gallon = 256 oz

You need 6 parts, so divide 256/6 = 42 2/3 oz

Thank you. Now there is no reason for me to procrastinate and just do it! I mixed 5 cups W&F and then filled it with water to the 2 gal mark. I'm going to write this on the W&F bottle. Thanks for simplifying it for me.
