    Just pointing out that the blurb with Roseate does say always spray out, ie do not keep once mixed.
    To mis-quote someone much more notorious than me: "Well, they would say that, wouldn't they?"


    But I have no idea how long spray keeps. As someone who's recently done a course, it would be good practice not to keep it from an Elfinsafety perspective.

    :) I've not used this product, but to my simple mind if watered down Roundup is sold for ready use then seems like leaving this mixed in sprayer is the same?


    Could be nice earner, like "rinse & repeat" on shampoo bottles

    Surprised no one has suggested using a flame gun. It achieves the rapid effect of the vinegar and is ideal for patios etc. (Also great for lighting the bonfire or barbecue!). The gas “weed wand” type are probably safer for domestic use than the full-scale flame-thrower type. Make sure you buy gas from the plumbing aisle rather than the gardening aisle if you are in the big shed stores!

    The OP question was about liquid weedkiller for paths / patios which I assume was why no one mentioned flame guns

    But it is a good alternative to chemical weedkillers and one that the OP might not have considered.

    (If there was a rule that replies had to be strictly on-subject, most threads on this site would be a lot shorter.) :)

    Well, if we are going to diversify, Lidl are offering an electric 2kW heat gun weeder this week as an alternative to the ones that run on gas and paraffin.


    Can't say if it would be any good though. I suspect the market for guns that strip gloss paint is collapsing since the introducton of 'turn yellow in a few months' eco stuff.

    If you want to prevent weeds from your garden, Snapshot 2.5 TG is the best choice for you. On the other hand, if you want to kill the existing weeds, then I recommend you to buy Compare-N-Save Concentrate.

    Are those even legal in the EU?

    What's in them?

    How do we buy them?

    Are you allowed to import weedkiller?
