Yep!
B&Q do their own glyphosate weedkiller ready to use...it's a really
weak
solution though....I don't know of anyone who does it the same
concentration
as 'Roundup' itself.

Does the B&Q concentration work?

Yes, probably. But what you need to compare is the price per unit
volume of liquid multiplied by the concentration.
Alternatively, if the bottles display the soil area covered, compare
the price per unit area.
