Large area weeds

need to redo my front lawn which is covered with weeds. It is a very large area. The 1 gallon round up weed killer I bought cost me 20 dollars and I only got done a very small part of the lawn. I need a more efficienct less expensive way to do this.

I have had luck using a concentrate in a “dial-n-spray” attachment. The concentrate weed killer I used was picked up at home depot….it’s a cheaper alternative. How large is the area, and what type(s) of weeds are you dealing with? Some weeds need more than one application. Also, with the concentrate generally 6oz./gallon does tha trick, but more might be necessary. Lastly, make sure you apply the weed killer during the warm part of the day, giving it time to dry onto the leaves, and making sure it won’t rain within 8-10 hours. Good luck!John-
