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! --
Many thanks

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
