Well it must work because it's on the EU's hit list of chemicals to ban.

I must say that roundup works for me.

It didn't work here. I diluted to the correct concentration for a
sprayer, sprayed two weeks ago and it made no difference. Just prior to
that, I used Weedol in a ready to use hand sprayer, which ran out part
way, hence the need to mix up the Roundup. The Weedol killed everything
it touched and the effect was noticeable within an hour.

Where can you buy white vinegar in 5litre containers?


Pickling vinegar I would guess.

Some bloke down the dump reckoned vinegar plus about 1 tbsp salt per pint
was very effective. I have not tried yet...
