    I buy mine of ebay much cheaper than the diy centres etc. Search for ROSATE 36 this is a high strength Glyphosate weedkiller similar to round up etc

    Not a deal as such, but take a look at this blog post (not mine, just one I read); the results of using ordinary vinegar look impressive. The only downside - and it's the same if you use glyphosphate - is that you have to do it when the weather is dry and expected to stay that way for a while.

    I did mine with glyphosphate just before that post was published; it stayed dry for another 24 hours and my dandelions are looking considerably less dandy now. Incidentally, glyphosphate is much of a muchness; but the prices aren't. Branded ones are hellish pricey!

    HTH.
