    In that case I'd just rinse it with the ammonia or vinegar then rinse with clean water.

    Heck they use diluted gly on food plots can't see where a triple rinse and flush of the sprayer wouldn't do, if you want to be extra cautious spray the first stuff out the nozzle on some vegetation you don't care about and carry on.

    Who uses diluted gly on food plots and what are they using it on? Clover can take diluted gly but most everything else used in plots won't tolerate it at all. Even if it did survive, you'd probably be knocking it back out of a couple weeks of growth.

    It's not a big deal to rinse the things out with a neutralizer, why would anyone want to take a chance on hurting something they spent a lot of effort to grow?

    It is a 4 gallon sprayer, the solution to pollution is dilution. Triple rinse it is the standard for disposal and clean environmental practices, it will suffice for putting fertilizer on a food plot.
