A spreader sticker is an oil that will help the weed killer stick to the weed. You can use something like kitchen vegetable oil for this purpose. Just a tablespoon or less per gallon.

a spreader is a container you put the stuff in and it has a hole like in the bottom and you crank this knob and it shoots the stuff out in a circular motion, when you buy the stuff you should read it first to see what else you can ask the clerk help with :}
