The patent has expired and generic prices are double last year.
I don't buy Roundup because it is still more expensive and the premixed
is a ripoff.
A gallon at agrisupply is 50 and 2.5 gal is 93. There is a regular and
a glystar pro that is about 7 bucks more for 2.5 gallons. The pro has
more surfactant for turf supposedly. I have always used a good squirt
of dishwa****ng liquid. This is the 41 % stuff so 3-6 ounces per gallon
is all you need. I use 3 for general weeds, and closer to 6 for hard
****ny leaves like english ivy. The Lawn and Garden stuff from Lowes
will only be like 18%.
WARNING. Glyso phosphate (roundup) kills any plant it touches. It
needs to be on at least two hours before a rain. If you accidentally
spray the wrong plant you can wash it off with plain water - the sooner
the better. I keep a sprinkler can because I am always hitting
something I don't want.
YOu can make a ****eld from cardboard or plastic or metal so you can
spray right up to the plants you want to keep. It must be sprayed on
the leaves to work. Newer growth works better than old growth so later
in the season means it will not work as well or takes longer. Sometimes
it takes a few days to a week to see that the plant is dying. Things
with many roots and runners can be harder to kill.
We have some periwinkle as cover but I can spray a weed in it and kill
little of the periwinkle, but it will kill it if you spray a whole large
area. periwinkle puts out many runners and roots.
