Roundup is fine. Just pay attention to what you are buying and where you
buy it from. Also there's no need to buy Monsanto branded Roundup, just buy
glyphosate as a generic product as a concentrate at 360g/l. You should then
dilute this 1:40, ie 1 litre of glyphosate to 40 litres of water for use.

Try this lot:

Their best buy appears to be 3x1 litre "Rustler" for 29.99.

Be aware, buying chemicals at farm strength is for grown ups. If you don't
know what you are doing stick to the diluted stuff sold at the DIY sheds.
