I've been using this stuff for the past 5 years.(gardener) It will take at least a week to start showing signs of it working. However 2 to 3 weeks after application the weeds will be very dead. There are a few plants that give it problems though.

Horsetail - Has a waxy coating and has a root system that can be 7 foot deep. Gallup will weaken it and with multiple applications will get rid of it. However add a drop of washing up liquid to your sprayer to help breakdown the wax coating. Bruise the horsetail first to aid the chemical to penetrate. I find any small sprouts of horsetail afterwards is best treated with a weed-wand. This will help exhaust the root ball. Especially the Spring growth which is the time when it releases its spores.Burn them as soon as you see them. For big large clumps of it spray and then use the jam jar method (see below)

Ivy/Brambles - Spray them but after fill a jam jar with diluted killer. Place branches of plant in poison and keep them in place using duct tape(use tape as a lid as well) After a week the creeper will have taken in a lethal amount of the weed killer. Keep the jar clear/hidden from animals and children as It's poison! Spaying will eventually work but the jam jar method is a lot quicker.

Gallup will work on virtually everything green. Don't spray when it's windy. Don't spray onto soil as a preventative. It's inert on soil so you're wasting your time. Keep it clear of ponds,It is lethal to fish etc. Always wear gloves.
Oh, and don't spray a weed patch then walk over it and across your lawn.............seriously don't!

Heat added as it's £2 cheaper than Amazon and £14 than the Agri shop down the road from me.

Better stock up EU is bound to ban it if is any good.

I got two, just to be on the safe side.

Might get some for the wife

Brilliant stuff.... I got some from a farmer to kill some bindweed. (100% stuff)
It was 15ml to 1 litre.
Just be careful if you are using a spray. It murders anything the drift may hit..... And that may include the wife Doods.

Ok cheers. I'll do it 50ml per 5ltr

Anyone able to recommend a decent sprayer for using this? Need to do a large area of chest high weeds.

I assume that once weeds dead I will have a chance of growing some 'proper' plants in the same place next year?

Wasted 200 mil there. The make up of this chemical means it's pointless making it more concentrated.

Is it any good for my nemesis/ivy?

ooh, cheers op, will investigate cus got loads of ivy to get rid of! Thanks for the helpful tips in this post.

23 quid... When I were a lad you could buy a big tin of sodium chlorate for two bob.

Sounds good.

Anyone found a nuke level Ant killer, previous products have been useless.

That's probably true, but not sure what it contributes to this particular thread?

Directions for use can be found HERE

My edit was just to add additional information as you are not the only one to reading my response. As for pre judging, what do you mean by that?

Ordered. See how it copes with killing the weeds on my block paving.

Pff taking the time to write that and to edit it...
Why not just let people write what they want without pre-judging them...
Just as pointless as making a reference to a dehumidifier... Get a life?

Red Diesel, 40+ litres for the same amount this costs.

nah this post is hot enough :smiley:

Is there any difference between this stuff and Clinic Ace?

I'm new to gardening. Is this good for the lawn/grass? Damm weeds are popping up everywhere and are ruining the garden :confused:

Perfect timing - our lawn guy* spotted some Horsetail coming in to our property. In his words "the only thing worse is Japanese knotweed" - and recommended some Glyophosate as it's the only thing strong enough to get rid.

I just don't need a whole 5L really...but 1L costs £15! :-/


* It's cheaper to pay someone to sort out the lawn in our new house than buy/do it myself with all the kit needed.

Will this get rid of bamboo?

I was replying to the other guy. I use this stuff, but , there's nothing wrong in keeping yourself informed, even if its to make your own choices. As I understand it there is no conclusive proof, but if I had small children I would do more research.

What do we need to raise awareness of? It's only being removed from sale to amateurs/general public at garden centres for example. Afaik this was down to the recent classification to a class 2A carcinogen. Not sure why they've not stopped sale of coffee though. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah glyphosate is out of patent so this product has nothing to do with teh monsatanz. :smiley:

Only if you buy it from Waitrose, not the Lidl stuff.

free gift for 4p more here Click Here

this is £2+ cheaper than amazon....wow

Bought a few years back excellent stuff,
Ordered another thanks op.

Oh hi, hope your dehumidifier is keeping you warm.
ps. I think you will find I did raise a bit of awareness by pointing it out that it is being banned in some countries.
Also, probably out of patent by now so made by multiple manufacturers.

Last time I bought this (and from this supplier) it cost £33.
Heated.

Surprised no one has turned up with the usual Monsanto comments!

This stuff always reminds me of one of my favourite Simpsons quotes

Ned: Why, you just picked all my flowers.
Homer: You can't make a float without flowers.
Ned: Sure, but did you have to salt the earth so nothing would ever grow again?

add fairy liquid to break through waxy leaves

Try adding a small amount of vegetable oil to your mix to reduce the spray drift / increase rain fastness.

If "professional" it shouldn't really be used for home / garden "amateur" users.

Then again, there have been a lot of reports of imitation pesticides being sold on eBay / similar in any case...

Bought some, cheers!

Bought some of this couple years back and still have plenty left as 5L lasts me a long time (50ml used to along with 5L of water in pressure sprayer)

Sprayed on really thick weeds at back of garden and after about 10-14 days, looked like back of my garden had just been napalmed

Great stuff and may order again to stock up

Ordered thanks.

As someone has said used correctly this stuff is great. After approx. 2 weeks looks like someone napalmed the sprayed area lol

Is this stronger weed killer than the Roundup 3000 posted last week?
Ta.

Great stuff

This is not designed to be added to the Mother in Laws cup of tea on any account . Be warned !

Just ordered some and hope this kills dandelions as well.

Better stock up EU is bound to ban it if is any good.

The strength of this is 360grams/litre. That is how I check the various glyphosates you can buy. Be aware some countries appear to be banning its sale. Good stuff for vegetation thats growing but only kills what it touches, there is no residual action.

Anybody wanna cook?

I bought some of this a couple of months ago - need only 50ml in a 5 litre sprayer. Takes around 10 days after spraying but it just kills anything it touches.

Apparently very good for killing Japanese knotweed.

Is this better then the roundup & resolva brand anyone pls ?

Ordered, Thanks

Might get some for the wife

Bought.
