    me and my mate did the same trying to make a rocket out of copper pipe. needless to say we changed tack from building rockets to something else after that!
    All I seem to hear is blah blah blah!
  • Finally popped to the garden centre today and bought some (and a watering can!).. Any idea how long it will take - i could swear the weeds were turning grey within an hour of me drenching them

    Strangely enough, I bought some more in B&Q yesterday. They're doing it in 5kg now, but it was still about a tenner.

    It does work very quickly. You will see results today.

    Be sure to read the MSDS risk and safety phrases, particularly if spraying.

    Yes, but it doesn't make a brilliant spray. It is better & more controllable from a can with a medium rose or weed bar.
