Just an idle question, but is glyphosate
the same as Roundup?

I notice people on this group have suddenly started
talking about glyphosate;
I don't recall seeing it mentioned until recently.


Another important difference is the price. Ghyphosate is a generic name of
the most common weed killer ingredient and is always far cheaper than
paying for the same product under a brand name. Roundup can cost between
ten and a hundred times as much as generic glyphosate to treat the same
area!!!

So, where can I buy glyphosate?


Don't know in England. In France the larger garden centres and
agricultural stores stock it. Usually in 5 litre or 2.5 litre containers
of concentrate. The concentrated glyphosate goes a very very long way.
