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..





Indeed. I tend to buy this http://www.wilko.com/invt/0330897 - I'm sure I

could find it cheaper but that is small quantity (I don't need litres of

the stuff) and is handily available on the highstreet.

er no that would be a whopping £28 per litre....

Last I bought was 5 litres for £35 IIRC, keeps well ;))
