Spraying weeds, fertilisers, or treatments can often feel like guesswork—did you already cover that strip of lawn? Did you miss a section? Or worse, have you doubled up in one spot and wasted costly product? Not only can this lead to wasted time and resources, but it can also cause inconsistent results and frustration.
The Red Vegetable Marker Dye is designed for clarity, visibility, and precision. This non-hazardous liquid dye makes every spray application cleaner, easier, and more efficient.

How to Apply Red Vegetable Marker Dye
Available Sizes & Options
Spraying without a marker often leads to missed strips, uneven coverage, or over-application. By adding a coloured dye to your spray solution, you instantly improve visibility, allowing you to see exactly where you’ve been. This ensures a more even finish, reduces product wastage, and saves valuable time.
Non-hazardous & environmentally friendly – safe to use in various conditions.
High visibility – the bright red colour stands out clearly on different surfaces.
Easy mixing – blends effortlessly with most spray solutions.
Cost-effective – prevents over-spraying and product waste.
Durable performance – remains visible long enough to finish your application confidently.
