Decent Weed Killer

[otherclive]

I buy concentrated Roundup and apply it using a hand held pressure spray and I also have a 5 litre pressure sprayer too for larger areas like drives.

Roundup comes with Glyphosate so should be good for the OP if used regularly.
There are no such things as weeds. Just plants in the wrong place 😉

Wrt your comment on weeds our son moved in to a house during Covid and proceeded to install post and rail fence along the front of the lawn where it meets the pavement and planted some natural British shrubs. A few weeks later he received a solicitor letter on behalf of a local landowning estate that informed him that 4 meters of what he thought was his lawn actually belonged to the landowner and he wanted the fencing and shrubs removed. . He checked with his solicitor who after much searching told him the landowner was correct. It seems the previous owners of the house kept the lawns mowed which didn’t bother either the landowner or neighbours.

So our son duly moved their fence back. Since then hes not touched the area of grass under consideration and nature is doing a very good job of naturalisation, much to neighbours chagrin. In parallel son has been busy converting the rest of the front lawns to meadow by planting Yellow Rattle and only mowing once in the year at Autumn. The meadow now merges very nicely with his woodland surrounding three sides of the house and it’s amazing the increase in bird, insect and plant life.

A good ending but doesn’t say much from the Land Registry and Legal Profession getting the boundary so incorrect🙀

John your link says it’s £15 for 500 mls. I accept it is “concentrated“ and needs watering down increasing the volume. Will,I get 10x with Rootblast?

Rootblast | Super Strength Concentrated Total Weed Killer - Super Strength Glyphosate for Effective Weed Control - Kills Weeds down to the their roots (1 x 500ml), Packaging May Vary​

I’ve not checked Roundup price but it does come in a spray which makes application easier. I doubt the OP will need a lot to treat the gaps between his wood tiles?.
Definitely one for consideration👍

This is where I calculate the 20 litres from.

• MIXING: Add 24mls of RootBlast Super Strength Total Weedkiller to 1 litre of water to treat up to 40 square metres (5m x 8m). Shake/agitate the mixture thoroughly before use. Use immediately after mixing.

Research shows that increasing the concentration makes no difference to the effectiveness.. There are a variety of makes with the same concentrate. All seem to work the same. I use a pump up spray. A hand spray is too much like work for me.
