know what the shelf life of glyphosate weed killers is like?

Just Google "glyphosate" and "shelf life". According to Monsanto, it's
at least 5 years
(http://www.dot.ca.gov/dist05/maint/i...uppro_msds.pdf)

My guess is that the concentrated solution has an almost indefinite
shelf life. I suppose that if you had the space, and weren't concerned
about any mix-ups, you could store that solution in a freezer at -18C in
case you were worried about decomposition at room temp. Of course, there
are always the sachets of powder available, too, which should be stable.
