I am going to be using glyphosate on my new allotment shortly but I'm
very concerned that the stuff might easily get blown onto my

flourishing plants. The instructions say wait for a windless day, but
you can never be sure about that. Just thinking out loud about this,
might it not be an idea to spray it onto black plastic sheeting first,
and then lay the plastic on the ground, secured with bricks or
whatever?


I used a type of weedkiller that mixed with water and used an old
watering can to apply, I found this to better than spraying as it didn't
get blown all over the place.
