Measuring Cup (4 oz)

Garden chemicals, plant foods and concentrates work only at the right rate. Too little and the job doesn't get done. Too much wastes product and can hurt the plants you meant to help. This 4-ounce cup puts the measure where you can read it, so you can mix the amount the directions call for without guessing.

The cup is calibrated for teaspoons, tablespoons and ounces, so you can read the measure you need without switching tools. It's a reusable plastic cup that is easy to rinse and simple to keep with your garden supplies for the next job. It is made for non-food products only.

What it's for

Plenty of garden jobs come down to a small measure. A teaspoon of concentrate in a sprayer, a tablespoon of plant food for a bucket or an ounce for a spot treatment all need an exact amount. A small, clear cup is the easiest way to get it right, and it beats eyeballing a capful that changes every time.

Many garden products give rates in teaspoons, tablespoons and ounces. A cup with all three marks lets you read the rate straight off the cup, so the mix you make matches the directions every time. That consistency matters for the lawn, the flower beds and the vegetable rows, where too much or too little shows up quickly.

It suits the home gardener who mixes a few products each season, a landscaper with a truck full of jobs and anyone who keeps a sprayer or a bucket on the porch. It's small enough to ride in a tool bucket and simple enough to hand to a helper who needs to measure the right amount.

How to use it

Measure the right amount every time:

1. Find the rate in the directions first, then fill the cup to the mark that matches.
2. Pour slowly and read at eye level so the liquid sits right on the line.
3. Rinse the cup after each mix, then let it dry before you store it.
4. Keep it with the garden supplies, not in the kitchen drawer.

Good to know

• Rinse the cup right after you mix, so residue doesn't build up in the marks.
• Keep the cup out of the kitchen so nobody grabs it by mistake.
• Pair it with a sprayer, a mixing bucket and a pair of gloves for a complete garden setup.
• Replace the cup if the markings wear off or the plastic cracks, since you need the measure to be readable.
