I’ve had a good sort out today of my gardening bits. I found a few old weedkiller sprays and some rose spray. I think they are 2-3 years old. Does anyone know if they are likely to be viable or should I dispose of them (very carefully 
) and buy new ones

Personally if it something you normally use, then I would just use it. It might not be quite as effective but worth a try you might not need to buy new.Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

I've used old rose spray stuff in the past and it made a difference.
And old weedol.
Both worked.
This is MSE after all

Put it this way, I doubt it's turned into fertiliser

Thanks everyone for the helpful and the odd amusing comments.
I’ll try the old stuff and hopefully it will work. I hate throwing things away if they can still be used.2
