Depends on what weeds and if it's turf or beds, etc. For broadleaf weeds in turf, weed b gone works for me.

Turf I guess. Level non-grassy areas.

Turf is grass. If you want to kill everything, then Glyphosate, the roundup chemical is effective. I buy 2.5 gal of 48% concentrate for $60 online, makes a couple hundred gallons.

Try your local Tractor Supply Company store, if you have one. Ask the
people there which would be best for your particular application. I am
using one that has the same ingredient as RoundUp, but in a slightly
higher concentration than the name brand, and much less expensive.
Takes four days to over a week to kill, depending on the "weed." The
slowest for me are the baby oaks.

How long did you wait for the product to work? It should take at
least a week before you see results. Are you attempting to kill weeds
in your lawn or are you dealing with weeds in a non-grassy area?

If you are trying to kill weeds and not preserve grass, try Round-up
(glyphosphate), this is a systemic product and must be sprayed on the
leaves of the weeds, additionally, it doesn't work too well on weeds
over 12" tall. Be aware, Round-up will kill grass.

If it is non grassy and you are not trying to preserve anything in the

Good to know and you are absolutely correct, "Drumpf" (Trump) won
because I misspelled glyphosate and because he properly spelled
"covfefe".....

A very insightful contribution....... ;-)

What are you trying to kill and where? The weeds on my stone driveway
turned up their toes within hours after application of a mix of 1
liter white vinegar, 1/2 cup epson salt, and a few tsp of dawn
dishwashing liquid. A lot cheaper than using cider vinegar and epsom
salts - and just as effective (I tried both)

Don't know name of the weeds. Non-grassy area.

Sounds like worth a try. I don't think I have any epson salts, have to
get some.

Later thoughts:

Have any idea where in Walmart I'd find epson salts? Health stuff?
Cleaning? Somewhere else? I've not seen them when looking for other
stuff.

Another question. How do you put this on the weeds? Put in an old spray
bottle? Other method?

Yes, pharmacy section.

That depends on what size area. For the very smallest of spaces,
an old spray bottle works, but remember to re-label it. For larger
areas, one of the 2 gallon pump sprayers works, that is the smallest
reasonable solution IMO, ~$20 For bigger areas, a 3 gal pump backpack
sprayer with a wide tip nozzle is the way to go. ~$75

I bought something online for a weed that I have for recommended
pre-emergent treatment needed is not available in any store around me:

Free shipping and cheaper than Amazon that wanted me to pay shipping.

I use Roundup and it kills anything I spray it on. I bought a
quart bottle of it last week at Walmart for $18.76 (I think it
76¢, I do know it was under $19.00). A $5 off coupon was used,
too. Anyway, This is the stuff you mix yourself and put in a
garden sprayer. I do add about a tablespoon more than the
recommended amount and I see no grass or weeds until the next
Spring.

If it's supresssing everything for months, then it's not Glyphosate, which is what is most commonly referred to as roundup. Monsanto has other products under the roundup name, so you have to make sure what your buying is what you want.

I use this, bought from Amazon. Use it in driveway/sidewalk cracks and a brick walkway.
Compare-N-Save Concentrate Grass and Weed Killer, 41-Percent Glyphosate, 32-Ounce
Though it kills everything, they get reseeded every year. Weeds do that.
Have to use it once a year.

You can't just say Roundup and not specify what it actually is. There
are very different types of Roundup product. As pointed out, when
people just say Roundup, they almost always mean the glyphosate product,
which Monsanto is most famous for. That you can spray, kill weeds,
and re-seed in just a few days, which is what you want when you're
re-seeding a lawn from scratch or hitting some weeds in an area
you're going to plant flower seeds. Then they have other products,
totally different chemical, which will prevent anything from germinating
or growing for months. If you used that "Roundup" on a lawn renovation,
or where you are planting flowers, it would be a disaster. you'd have
no lawn, no flowers for a year and waste a lot of money.

It says Roundup on the bottle so I have no idea if it's something
special or not. All I know is that it works.

When that doesn't work, use Garlon AKA Triclopyr (Ortho Brush B Gone
at the BORG). It works on stuff Roundup won't kill.
Garlon 4 with Diesel as the surfactant is bad to the bone.
