Title: Roundup dilution
Post by: Streethawk on May 29, 2005, 11:34:21
Hi Peeps,

the label has come off our ageing bottle of roundup - and I wondered if anyone could copy me the dilution details off of theirs (if you have one that is).

I know, I shouldn't be resorting to methods like this, but (as I know some of you have experienced), buying a house from people in their eighties and with lazy neighbours means there's simply too much of it to do by hand!

Any help would be appreciated (with the information I mean, but if you want to come over and pull weeds, we're in Grimsby!)

Dangerous - there are several strengths of Glyphosphate . This is for the current 'standard' one.

I always use roundup at the rate of 30ml to 5 litres of water.

Sorry Tim got my numbers mixed up there, I use 100ml to 5 litres of water in a sprayer, once again sorry for the confusion.  :-X

Also very effective diluted to only 50%, thats 100ml. roundup to 100ml. water and painted on sawn tree stumps around the bark/wood junction. Or drill holes and pour it in, and put a plastic bag over the stump to stop rain washing it out.

Don't mention anything to do with weeds, roundup and Grimsby - I am a Lincoln fan in a very bad mood  :).
