Glyphosate in France
"Martin" wrote ... "Bob Hobden" wrote: "Bob Minchin" wrote .. I think it has been mentioned before here that glyphosate is available in France much cheaper that in UK. I shall be going to France on holiday for most of September and will have this on my shopping list. Where is the best/cheapest places to buy this stuff bearing mind I only have sufficient French to get typically get a meal and a bed for the night and could not support a conversation on the relative concentrations and applications of the stuff!! What are the brand names to lookout for please and does it come in the bewildering range of concentrations that we get here? I'd like 360 or 540 gms per litre so I can make up my own dilutions. Is glyphosate the same word in French? Is désherbant the key word to be looking for? Hopefully some of our French resident readers can help. Something else you can buy in France in large supermache that is difficult to buy in the UK is "Owatrol" in 1 litre tins. You can buy it in chandlers in UK. It is the bees knees for coating stuff to prevent rust on metal, paint it on and it creeps into the smallest gap and then sets, and it works as an undercoat too. I use it on all sorts of stuff but especially my old Landrover (1986) "allotment shed" as it's known. Something you can buy in UK and elsewhere that works very well is Fertan Rust converter and Ferpox that provides a waterproof coating of resin on the area you have treated. Yes there are a few rust converting/stopping products, one of the best is Dinitrol RC800/RC900 which converts rust to an organic iron product that inhibits further rust. Not cheap, and messy to apply IME, but excellent, does exactly what it says on the tin. Paint what looks like milk on the rust, wait overnight, and it's all turned black. Resin is OK except that the chassis of a landrover flexes so I'm not convinced resin would be the best product for the job. -- Regards Bob Hobden just W. of London |
