Default Glyphosphate!

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.



5L Roundup or sim £20

5L Glyfos or sim £40

I pt to about 4/5 gals in the knapsack sprayer- getting on for around 20 x
cheaper !

Only snag is that for those with smaller places - several years could turn
out to be several decades.
