I think it has been mentioned before here that glyphosate is available in
France much cheaper that in UK.
I shall be going to France on holiday for most of September and will have
this on my shopping list.
Where is the best/cheapest places to buy this stuff bearing mind I only
have sufficient French to get typically get a meal and a bed for the night
and could not support a conversation on the relative concentrations and
applications of the stuff!!

What are the brand names to lookout for please and does it come in the
bewildering range of concentrations that we get here?
I'd like 360 or 540 gms per litre so I can make up my own dilutions.
Is glyphosate the same word in French?
Is désherbant the key word to be looking for?

Hopefully some of our French resident readers can help.

TIA

Bob


This reminds me of an incident years ago when I took my family to
Switzerland for a holiday. We lived in a large house with a very large
garden and were trouble with Moles. We found in a little village shop Moth
Balls and we had been informed that if you pop these down the Mole Holes,
the Moles go away, but we could not get any in the UK.

The very broken conversation in the shop was "Yes we do understand that
these are not sweets and no we are not going to eat them but put them in the
ground to deter Moles"

I don't think they understood the last bit, but we made sure they understood
that we would not eat them. The children were about 1, 6, 8 and 10. Just the
'Sweet Eating' age!!
