"the correct mixture for concentrate is 6 fl ounces (12 tbls) per
gallon of water. dont waste it using it straight imho."


Roundup is retailed in a variety of concentrations, not just one.
I've seen it all the way from ready made spray bottles requiring no
dilution, to 50% concentrations where a gallon costs $90 and makes 80
gallons of solution.

Since he was given the roundup and has no label, there is no way of
knowing what concentration he has. I guess he could try something
along the dilution you suggested and experiment.

hello all-we are actually having a spring here in Memphis! I have an old
glass container of roundup (the good stuff-concentrate) I was thinking
of using a small sponge paintbrush dipped in the roundup concentrate to
kill nutgrass and ground ivy in my bermuda grass lawn. As long as the
wet sponge makes contact with the unwanted weeds do you think this will
be sufficient for their demise?
