Yes. It comes in 5litre cans at farm suppliers. It's a viscous
liquid that has to be diluted according to whatever you're trying to
kill.
There are other deadly weedkillers there too..............


Glyphosate is superficially expensive when bought as a generic but it
goes a very very long way due to it being so concentrated. If you only
have a small / medium sized garden a 5 litre tub of concentrate will
last you for several years.

Just don't buy Roundup or pre-diluted "read to use" glyphosate as you
will be paying something like ten times the price (per unit) as the
generic concentrate.
