Beware making the mistake of thinking "more is better" where
glyphosphate is concerned. Too much, and it simply burns the
foliage and never gets translocated to the roots to do its lethal
work.

You might try mixing the stuff half the recommended strength and
making a comparison trial to the full strength mix. I have a
funny idea that half strength might do just as well, possibly
even better, than full strength.

I think you are right, i was just speaking to my father about the problem,
and his exact words were "don't go mad with the stuff" which i think if
roughly translated means exactly what you have said !!

Thanks
