Takes a week or two to take effect but it killed everything. Mix it 25ml to the litre so that £12 is for an effective 40 litres.

Second this, just done my garden to kill the remainder of the grass before new turf and it's taken about three days so far but everything is dying off.

FWIW these are both glyphosate in case you don't realise.

I do indeed but they are a lot more concentrated than any Roundup you can buy in the DIY sheds. (I believe that, technically, they should not be on general sale to Joe Public as they can't be trusted).

Roundup is like a nuclear bomb for bees. Wipes them out.

Apparently a lot of people use gold old Petrol on areas which they don't intend to grow anything.

Although your garden will smell like a forecourt.

Dear Mitzy,

The reason the the public is only allowed to use Mothercare strength pesticides is they they often don't read the labels properly if at all and miss use them. So please read the label.
