Gallup 360 is a weed killer that contains glyphosate for effective control of annual and deep-rooted perennial garden weeds, including grasses, docks, nettles, willowherb, dandelion, bindweed and many more. It's inactivated on contact with the soil and is broken down by soil organisms to leave no lasting residues.
Active ingredient: 360 g/L Glyphosate in a soluble concentrate.
Features:
Inactivated on contact with the soil and is broken down by soil organisms to leave no lasting residues.
Apply when weeds are actively growing and have adequate leaf area to absorb the spray.
Weeds may show first effects from a few days up to 4 weeks after depending on the weather and type of weed.
Some tough weeds, such as ground elder, may need a repeat treatment after 3-4 weeks if regrowth appears.
Knapsack application: Add 24mls 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.
Apply when weeds are actively growing and have adequate leaf area to absorb the spray.
Spray nettles and ground elder when new leaves have fully unfolded in late spring.
Do not spray in windy conditions as drift can damage or kill valued plants.
Do not walk into treated areas until the spray has dried on the leaves, to avoid transfer to lawns and other wanted vegetation.
Rainfall within 6 hours of application may reduce effectiveness and require re-treatment.
Treat established perennial weeds at the start of flowering for best effect.
Weeds may show the first effects from a few days up to 4 weeks later depending on the weather and type of weed.
Leave treated weeds for at least 7 days before cultivating.
Kills most weeds with a single application. Some tough weeds, e.g. ground elder, may need a repeat treatment after 3-4 weeks if regrowth appears.
If re-treatment is required repeat only once per season.
Take extreme care to avoid spray drift. Do not spray in windy weather or near to desirable species or plants, as drift can cause severe plant injury.
Where to use: For use on unwanted vegetation. Do not use on lawns.
How to use: Apply with a knapsack sprayer as a medium-coarse spray.
Future planting:
Has no long-lasting effects in soil after application. Cultivations and planting can be conducted 7 days after application or if the weather has been cool, after the weed leaves have become yellowed or have died back.

Please don't go spraying this willy nilly. I have sprayed this, though probably stronger, in a professional capacity, and I had to gain PA1 and PA6 spraying licence. My instructor was very strict and warned us that in the future glysophate may be banned.
Unlike my colleages I nearly always wore the appropriate gear: visor, face mask, chemical suit, nitrile gauntlet gloves, wellington boots with suit legs over them.
Even then I would sometimes inhale some of the chemical and a bitter taste would be in my mouth for days. We also added "Chikara" granules to the mixture for longer lasting effects.
Time will tell how dangerous all this stuff is, and it is over used to be honest. At the very least wear a face mask and gloves, the human body was not intended to absorb herbicide.
Really you should also calibrate your sprayer and calculate the ratio and amount of mixture required, but I know in the real world few people do. Just tread carefully with this stuff is all I'm saying.

Doesn't that sound like dishonest bs? Poison gets inactivated by the soil? Sounds horrific for the health of soil and those who use it in their family gardens.

True, but it doesn't work for the most common weeds like Dandylion and Thistle. They are very deep rooted and when you pull them up the root breaks off in the ground and grows again very quickly. Within a week or two you're back where you started.

Most effective weedkiller I have found in this new era of EU restrictions.
highly recommended but 5 litres goes a long long way!!
This stuff is good although it takes a week or two it will kill to the root. One tip if you want to target individual weeds in a lawn for example is to put a rubber glove on then an old woolen glove over it and dip it in the weed killer, then just go around and touch the leaves of the weeds you want gone. You can of course use a sprayer but it will kill almost anything it touches.

Do you know why? Because getting weeds out of a gravel driveway can be done with a rake quite simply without much effort - you don't even have to remove them - just rake on a hot day and they'll die. Good to know people naively use this type of chemical. Do you know anything about plant or soil science? This stuff is bad news. It's bad enough already what runs of off driveways- give it a break!

Last time I checked, I'm pretty sure I was a gardener, so it's not that obvious apparently. :smile:
Nothing can escape a properly sharpened hoe. Check youtube etc for tutorials if you aren't sure how to use a hoe. It's well worth doing, get a much better more balanced garden ecosystem out of it. https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=241#section-4
which apparently hukd has changed from the rhs page on managing bindweed, to a commercial site - !?
It said, anyway:
"Hoeing: In areas where it is not possible to dig without disturbing plant roots, sever the weed at ground level with a hoe. This will need to be repeated throughout the growing season as new growth reappears"

If it was that simple and effortless don't you think I would? The weeds are rooted in the soil underneath the gravel so raking or pulling them up brings the soil to the surface, which then gets on everyones shoes and looks a real mess, so the only answer is some type of weedkiller.
Yes there should have been a membrane under the gravel but I didn't construct it, I'm just stuck with it the way it is.

Yes, it could if applied in the right manner, but a chainsaw would be better as you'll need to cut it down well before it starts to rot and drop branches and falls over.
moosery2
10 Jun 16#60
You only have to chop the top off a couple of times before the weed dies - if it can't photosynthesize, it can't grow. You don't usually need to remove the roots.
Obviously removing weeds then becomes a regular chore but correct me if I'm wrong, do you not have to regularly apply weedkiller anyway (not that I'd know, wouldn't touch the stuff)?

You should consider having a read at this before using weedkillers. Particularly if you're spraying. I don't think anybody should be using glyphosate products in this way. Prolonged exposure could give you Non Hodgkins Lymphoma or worse. At least if you know the risks you can make an informed choice. http://www.nature.com/news/widely-used-herbicide-linked-to-cancer-1.17181

Yes - it will work. In fact it's about the only way to control it. It'll work even better if (and this may not be practical, depending on how much of it you have) you crush it slightly before spraying. Even if you can't do that it will work after a few applications.

It will kill it, but careful you don't spray shoots through the fence from any plants or bushes the neighbour might want to keep.
We used a similar glyphosate 360 product mixed at 50ml/ litre of water to kill a thick layer of ivy which had rooted in the gap between the original chain-link fence and a wooden one a previous neighbour had erected, it had grown massive and the previous neighbour had wanted to keep it to form a massive hedge. Still got most of my 1 ltr bottle left, so I doubt you'll need 5l unless it is a very long fence.
The advice I followed was to run a strimmer over the vines first as a bit of damage will supposedly help with its absorption through the waxy leaves, and also to add a drop of fairly liquid to the mix to help it cling, although I now gather than these products usually already contain a surfactant so that shouldn't be needed.
Took about 2-3 weeks for it to die and turn brown. It also killed about a foot wide band of grass from the fence due to the overspray, however we didn't make any effort to prevent that as there was only grass there which will grow back.

There has been more up to date research since the IARC review. The EFSA review is here. . I feel it is better because it looked at glyphosate alone rather than cocktails/combinations.
Either way it is an organophosphorus compound, so it is sensible that it should be handled with care and necessary personal protection.
But also remember we use a lot of chemicals in our daily life within the home. Bleach and acids for the bathroom, biologic soaps for our clothes, air fresheners with chemicals in them, creams with parabens in them, etc, etc. What about car washing, there are probably worse chemicals that we let run into our drainage system and land when washing the car. So unless you live a caveman/woman lifestyle, it is impossible to avoid such chemicals.

Forget your glysophates...this stuff https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mistral-Ammonium-Sulphamate-1Kg/dp/B004MMOEH2
is the dogs danglies and simply breaks down into nitrogen. Instead of poisoning the plant this in effect simply suffocates your problem weeds, stumps and loads else inc Knotweed.
I've used it several times (only as a compost accelerator of course....!!) and it is briliant.
basically not permitted for use as a herbicide because of EU testing rules and nobody will pay for the tests, while the large pharma companies protect their profits by pushing glysophates.

Anyway, in real world conditions the chemical particulate will always find it's way into your eyes, skin, lungs and hair. The protective clothing I mentioned will limit exposure but it will not eliminate risk completely. It doesn't have to directly go into your mouth for you to notice symptoms.
Most members of the public will slosh some of this into a cheap garden sprayer and spray away. It is a massive subject in and of itself and considering I am writing these messages with my phone I think I included some relevant information that will be helpful to some.

If you want cheap and environmentaly friendly weed killer:
Mix 1 gallon vinegar with half cup salt, dash of washing up liquid. Mix well then spray onto weeds in the morning on a sunny day.
By evening weeds will be dead. Use on paths and cracks as well.
Brush on if near plants as this will kill plants and lawns as well if you spray them.

Even then I would sometimes inhale some of the chemical and a bitter taste would be in my mouth for days. We also added "Chikara" granules to the mixture for longer lasting effects.
Time will tell how dangerous all this stuff is, and it is over used to be honest. At the very least wear a face mask and gloves, the human body was not intended to absorb herbicide.
Really you should also calibrate your sprayer and calculate the ratio and amount of mixture required, but I know in the real world few people do. Just tread carefully with this stuff is all I'm saying.

Before buying this please do a quick Google. Glyphosphate is suspected of killing thousands of people who didn't realise how nasty it is, and this 'deal' is the super concentrated form.
Cold cold cold deal.
highly recommended but 5 litres goes a long long way!!

Just be wary of using a chainsaw afterwards........

I've ordered some.
Heat added.
Much more satisfying way to take it out on weeds.
As much as I would like to use this we have 2 cats, who unlike dogs are legally allowed to roam.
Chemical poisoning is a horrendously slow and painful death for most animals. I hope if any animals die in the vicinity due to your ignorance then you're collared
Nothing can escape a properly sharpened hoe. Check youtube etc for tutorials if you aren't sure how to use a hoe. It's well worth doing, get a much better more balanced garden ecosystem out of it.

which apparently hukd has changed from the rhs page on managing bindweed, to a commercial site - !?
It said, anyway:
"Hoeing: In areas where it is not possible to dig without disturbing plant roots, sever the weed at ground level with a hoe. This will need to be repeated throughout the growing season as new growth reappears"
(edit:what did hotukdeals just do to my link!?)
Yes there should have been a membrane under the gravel but I didn't construct it, I'm just stuck with it the way it is.
Obviously removing weeds then becomes a regular chore but correct me if I'm wrong, do you not have to regularly apply weedkiller anyway (not that I'd know, wouldn't touch the stuff)?
The instruction leaflet with the 1ltr bottle I got recently for some now dead ivy was farm orientated and not a lot of help.

No offence to gepw... but that was a rather an uninformative post for anyone about to make a decision on using this stuff.
I also question how he's got to taste the stuff!? Perhaps a spraying course refresher might be in order.
:confused:
We used a similar glyphosate 360 product mixed at 50ml/ litre of water to kill a thick layer of ivy which had rooted in the gap between the original chain-link fence and a wooden one a previous neighbour had erected, it had grown massive and the previous neighbour had wanted to keep it to form a massive hedge. Still got most of my 1 ltr bottle left, so I doubt you'll need 5l unless it is a very long fence.
The advice I followed was to run a strimmer over the vines first as a bit of damage will supposedly help with its absorption through the waxy leaves, and also to add a drop of fairly liquid to the mix to help it cling, although I now gather than these products usually already contain a surfactant so that shouldn't be needed.
Took about 2-3 weeks for it to die and turn brown. It also killed about a foot wide band of grass from the fence due to the overspray, however we didn't make any effort to prevent that as there was only grass there which will grow back.
Either way it is an organophosphorus compound, so it is sensible that it should be handled with care and necessary personal protection.
But also remember we use a lot of chemicals in our daily life within the home. Bleach and acids for the bathroom, biologic soaps for our clothes, air fresheners with chemicals in them, creams with parabens in them, etc, etc. What about car washing, there are probably worse chemicals that we let run into our drainage system and land when washing the car. So unless you live a caveman/woman lifestyle, it is impossible to avoid such chemicals.

is the dogs danglies and simply breaks down into nitrogen. Instead of poisoning the plant this in effect simply suffocates your problem weeds, stumps and loads else inc Knotweed.
I've used it several times (only as a compost accelerator of course....!!) and it is briliant.
basically not permitted for use as a herbicide because of EU testing rules and nobody will pay for the tests, while the large pharma companies protect their profits by pushing glysophates.
Read the reviews...
I know people complain about it being bad for environment, but in reality the other products that claim to do the same do little and are a total waste of money.
I suppose you have to weigh up the pros and cons.
Me I gotta kill the weeds :smiley:

Subjectivism, you're doing it wrong :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyway, in real world conditions the chemical particulate will always find it's way into your eyes, skin, lungs and hair. The protective clothing I mentioned will limit exposure but it will not eliminate risk completely. It doesn't have to directly go into your mouth for you to notice symptoms.
Most members of the public will slosh some of this into a cheap garden sprayer and spray away. It is a massive subject in and of itself and considering I am writing these messages with my phone I think I included some relevant information that will be helpful to some.
This is just the next chemical that hasn't been banned because of lobbying, technicalities in labelling and junk science. It will be banned just like the ones that have already. Why are you wantonly sniping and talking up glysophate? It's a little weird.
Dandelions roots (for example) aren't often deep, you just have no technique!
Today my back is telling me I'm the weed lol
I remember in the days of MSN forums a guy in New Zealand owned a camp site/holiday park. The farmer next door sprayed his fields with roundup. The guest all became ill and his daughter , from memory became ill and died and his business suffered . He was trying to sue the New Zealand government for not banning it , when the dangers were known and kept getting fobbed off.
Could you point us to the evidence please, as I suspect this is news to the scientists that have yet to find any definitive link to increased caner risk. Or have you just made this up to sound scary?
How about this one: http://www.cancer.org/cancer/news/world-health-organization-says-diesel-exhaust-causes-cancer
Mix 1 gallon vinegar with half cup salt, dash of washing up liquid. Mix well then spray onto weeds in the morning on a sunny day.
By evening weeds will be dead. Use on paths and cracks as well.
Brush on if near plants as this will kill plants and lawns as well if you spray them.
