I've a friend who is losing a battle with some 4' tall, fibrous
weeds on her 1/4 acre lot. I bought a gas powered brush cutter
and knocked them over once but they are back.


"ROUNDUP"..the Generic version (about half the cost of the "real"
stuff )available at WalMart labelled "Eliminator" Weed & Grass Killer , 41%
Glyphosate

Get a quart for $ 14.97 or half gallon for less than $ 30, mix it in your
Tank sprayer at about 5 oz/2 gal and kill 'em dead ! They won't be back..



Full strength Roundup is 50.2% glyphosate. I buy it in a gallon jug at
Home Depot for $110.

Eliminator is not a bad deal, but it is not the same product. If you
try and kill a stand of bamboo, you'll experience the difference!
