Does anyone know a good source of cheap (ownbrand?) glyphosate weedkiller? I seem to get through a lot of it. Ive used various brands but some seem much better than orther, or is this just to do with the concentrations they recommend?

    I'm got the Rosate 36 from Amaz0n, a liter for £12 and it lasts ages. I only use about half or less the concentration they recommend and it works still great. The 5l jug is even better value.

    This year we tried Wilkinson's own and have been more than pleased with the result. The £10 one litre bottle easily did the whole allotment with loads to spare for another job. My friend, who normally gets Round Up from his farming family, thinks the Wilkinson one is far superior!

    The only things that matter is the grammes per litre concentration and, especially if you have harder water, what adjuvants have been added to the mix.

    Cheapies benefit from added adjuvant ,while the Monsanto product has them built in.

    This is possibly why results are likely to vary and also makes comparisions between brands difficult.
