Where can I buy a quantity of Roundup or similar to treat

that there's an "agricultural" or "concentrated" sort that
can be bought and is more cost-effective compared to the

will be gratefully received!

Look under "Agricultural Supplies" in your local Yellow Pages.

You will need a backpack sprayer or a weed wiper to apply it, though. If you
do not have access to either, it may be more cost effective to make friends
with a local farmer.

I have applied it from a common watering can, though over an acre that
would be tedious (mine was about 1/16th of an acre). IIRC you can get a
variant with a dye in it so you can tell where you have sprayed. For
that you would almost certainly need and agricultural supplier.
