A gardening applicator for efficiently delivering liquid chemicals to selected vegetation is disclosed. The applicator includes a wind guard chamber through which a stream of emitted liquid chemicals may be directed in a predetermined path along a central axis of the wind guard chamber. The wind guard chamber is preferably tube shaped over a predetermined length and can incorporate a diffuser screen or mesh which extends transversely across the predetermined path at the exit end of the wind guard chamber such that the liquid chemicals are finely dispersed upon passing through the diffuser screen. Actuation of a pressure activated pump head may provide a pressurized stream of liquid chemicals through the wind guard chamber and onto the diffuser screen for dispersion onto selected vegetation. The pressure activated pump head may conveniently be connectable to a liquid chemical reservoir such as a generally commercially available bottle with a standard sized threaded opening. The wind guard chamber may further include a drip ring which creates a drip reservoir disposed inside the wind guard chamber. A preferably flared, transparent wind shield may further be provided on the exit end of the wind guard chamber to protect against unwanted overspray onto unintended vegetation.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An applicator for delivering a liquid chemical to targeted vegetation, wherein the applicator includes:a portably unrestricted self contained liquid chemical reservoir connected to a pump head communicably connected to the liquid chemical reservoir, wherein the pump head is capable of discharging the liquid chemical as a stream in a predetermined path;an extension member having an inner diameter sufficiently spaced from said path to avoid directly contacting the discharged stream of liquid chemical along said predetermined path, and a predetermined length sufficient to provide a well defined stream of liquid therethrough, a first end connectable to said pump head in a relatively fixed position with respect thereto, and a second end connected to said first end, said extension member being generally laterally disposed from a central axis along said predetermined path and substantially over said predetermined length; anda diffuser screen connected to said second end of said extension member and being spaced from said pump head and extending transversely across said predetermined path such that the liquid chemical is dispersed in an expanded pattern sufficient to cover the targeted vegetation upon passing through said diffuser screen.
