Default Where to buy glyphosate weedkiller

Hi
I was given to understand that the licence to use glyphosate
in branded weedkiller has expired and glyphosate should now be
available at a reasonable price on the open market. Does anyone have a
reliable source from whom I can purchase it at a reasonable price
please.

It would be nice to think that that this might be true. In practice, a
couple of other brands are on the market a bit cheaper than Roundup but
not that much cheaper.
Look carefully at the amount of active ingredient when comparing prices.

I know places where it has been possible to buy it at a quarter of the
usual price - but I'm afraid they're all in France! My allotment
neighbours used to ask me to get some each time I visited France!

I bought mine from Wilkinson Stores. Pretty sure it was their brand.

Bricomarché. At least the one in Falaise stocks it so I suppose that
others do.

Good Lord, man. Have they no Agrial (formerly Orcal, sometimes Point
Vert) in Falaise? Go to the professional section, ask for Roundup.
Bring your own container. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Not sure what the minimum is, though. I get mine by ladle from a local.

Falaise, eh? South of Argentan here.

Yes, they do. And there's one in Pont D'Ouilly which is my local one.

Can't say that Agrial's prices are all that low on most things. That's
where I get my vine posts from. But thanks for the tip. I'll ask next
time I go and ask for "Roondoop"!

Falaise, eh?


Between Falaise and Condé-sur-Noireau

South of Argentan here.


Not too far from us, then.
