Recommend me a strong weed killer.

Post by Taipan »

I need to kill anything that grows really. What can I buy in bulk size that can put on in strong doses with a watering can and not a fatty little sprayer thing?

All the ‘good’ stuff was removed from sale a few years ago by the tree huggers.

I used Weedol Pathclear on the block paving, it has done fuck all... I’m tempted to use dog piss as it does a cracking job on the lawn but the hound can’t be trained to piss on just the weeds or directly into a bottle ;)

I’ve seen drunk people’s vomit have the same effect on the lawn. Could be the future of path weeding!

All natural ingredients too, to satisfy Greta Thunberg.

Gyphosate, the farmer version not the shit shop version

If you can't kill it with that, it deserves to live. :lol:

And if that doesn't kill whatever (ill be surprised)

Fire. Seriously. Get yourself a 3 litre box of cheap red wine and a blowtorch with a long nozzle specifically designed for killing driveway and path weeds, then spend a happy afternoon sorting them out. Works a treat.

This sort of thing - probably less powerful now but it's at Farmer Palmer used to swear by when I worked on a farm ....

Glyphosate - as I said earlier. Just don’t buy “roundup” from a garden centre - its weak as piss. Buy the stuff I linked to.

That’s likely weak as piss - sorry, anything aimed at home use is.

I use this stuff. Very slow acting and very permanent.

Ideally you need a dry/sunny spell for it to get into the weeds,if it rains after spraying,the effect is diluted.
