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.



5L of Roundup for £20?...I don't think so unless it is about 8gm/litre.
