You can mix it as recommended, and wearing a pair of rubber gloves, dip your hands into it and then rub it over the plant.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Best to use the concentrated diluted to about 3water to 1 Rounup rather than the ready to use stuff.

Dave did not make it clear that you apply it with a paint brush. It is not on the label so strictly speaking you are not allowed to do it.
You mean it's illegal? I struggle to accept that.

I wasn't advocating doing anything illegal. But if it is - then I suppose I'm guilty  :unsure:  :wacko:

I used a roundup spot weeding thing this year, bit like an under arm deodorant but bigger, it was fill of gel and did a really good job around my onions

Of course it's not illegal and to suggest that you are not allowed to do it is totally wrong

Ok - back on topic. Forgot to add that if you keep your weedkiller and wallpaper paste mix in a jar with the lid on then it lasts for ages - so a combination of digging and applying the paste is a really good mix that should help you get on top of your bindweed problem. Good luck.

The forum mods are always careful to remind us all that we can't advocate using pesticides for any other use or in any way not directed on the label CDave, so Salmo was just pointing that out  :)

What you choose to do on your own plot is up to you of course  :)
