Best weedkiller.

Round up is a bit pricey alright so I'd be interested to hear how you get on with the Rambo stuff.

It's doing the trick alright, worth the smaller purchase price imo

can you use this to kill weeds on a lawn or will it kill the grass too?? Is there anything that is good for killing weeds and not effecting the growth of the grass? My garden is looking more like a cabbage patch!!!!

Don't use Roundup on your lawn, it destroys everything in sight. Try for a suitable product for killing lawn weeds.

Has anybody tried to make it at home? I have been told that you can make your own weed killer right at home. If you go on line and google it you will find out how to make it. its cheap and it works. you can get all the stuff from lidl. you use salt,washing-up liq and vinager.

roundup contains 360 grms glyphospate per lte and there are loads of generics out there avoid the roundup name as you are paying through the nose for it. some of the generics are scutchout, gallup, glygos360,asteroid,envision and at least another half dozen i know as i sell sprays etc. Avoid garden centres at all costs as you will be screwed!! on price hit to small hardwares or co op stores or general farm stores for best prices. For weeds on lawn look for a product called Mortox(hygeia in galway) used on lawns, pitches and golf courses excellent product and well priced. 1ltr retails at approx 16/20E application rate is 75mls per 5 ltr.

all this crap is going into our water!!!!

Dukey good stuff I will have a look for it..Do you know anywhere in Dublin where you could get Mortox?? Cheers

Not sure how effective it is but I believe on the continent they use steam to kill weeds.

I suppose you could rig up a steam cleaner then zap the weeds.

I have a fine collection of weeds in my front garden from 2 years ago when my boy used to bring in dandelines and blow them over the garden.

I think when the energy strikes me I'll get out with my steam cleaner and nuke the blighters.

Steam would also be better for the environment.
