weed killer

Does anyone know where to buy a great weedkiller that can be watered down and put into a garden sprayer.


Roundup is costing me a bomb

Grenage

Something like Rosate 360 can be bought online; very cost effective.

My mum has been using white vinegar to use on weeds and her drive and patio, its killed everything off, and its very cheap.

Neudorff concentrate. Gardeners expect roundup from the garden centre to work straight away, of course it won't work quickly. Any glyphosate product (rosate, gallup, round up) will take 3 weeks at least to show some effect but it will work, properly but eventually.

Not convinced it'd work on my knotweed though.

Are you aware of the health risks associated with using toxic weedkillers like roundup?

Yes, glyphosate is so toxic it's the only weedlkiller approved for use in and around UK waterways.

No, are you? What are the specific risks and how do they compare with others, like living near a busy road, eating bacon or barbecued food, or driving down the M4?

Chemical weedkillers are toxic, its widespread knowledge at present.
You can make your own choices but you need to be aware of the risks.

Lawsuits in the USA, possibly the most litigious country, isn't a particularly reliable indicator as to whether something is safe or not.
