I have about a gallon of premixed Roundup in a two-gallon garden

has been sitting in my garden shed since June.

With the glorious warm weather we're having in SoCal this weekend I
thought I'd hit a few weeds that sprouted during the recent rains, but
I don't know if this six-month-old Roundup is still good. I've read the
package instructions carefully and it says nothing about storing
premixed product. It does say that Roundup becomes inert
("deactivated") when it hits the soil, but nothing about the
effectiveness of leftover mix. I vaguely recall some of the
groundskeepers at work mentioning that mixed Roundup slowly becomes
inert with time, but my memory of those conversations is a bit fuzzy.

It's no biggie to mix up a fresh batch, but as expensive as this stuff
is, I'd like to not waste it if it's still good. I thought I'd ask here
before calling Monsanto.

The operative word there might be "can". But you also need to take
Monsanto's advice with a grain of salt. They might want you to buy
more.
