roundup
« on: September 06, 2010, 07:02 »
hi all, i have a large patch at the bottom of my garden that has gone wild with weeds long grass and everything no one wants in a garden lol. i know roundup will kill it all but where do i get a reasonable size amount not just the little spray bottle in my local garden center which i think is probably only used for spot weeding.

You can buy generic Glyphosate (the chemical name) in 5 or even 20 litre containers for dilution of 40 or 45 to 1 (it'll last a while ::)). If you have some sort of agricultural store (its sold where I work) anywhere near you, or contact a local seed merchant they may be able to point you in the right direction. One other thought, we had for sale this summer some bottles of about 250 ml Roundup, also for dilution, which would cover about 20 sq. metres. That might be a more practical size for you to hunt down.

:)

Edit: additional info.

This is busting good stuff:

Resolva

Contains diquat and glysophate. Turns nettles black in less than 24 hours.

Available most DIY stores.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
