SNAP SHOT 194 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 clinic is the cheapest of the glyphos based weedkillers and will do the job but animals should be kept away till dry or 24hrs is right or you could try scutchout 360............gallup 360..................roundup biactive..............pricy but high in glyphos ....

Mark.B 0 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Any weedkiller containing Glphosate is ok to use on your allotment these are sold under names such as Roundup,clinic and Glyphos.Once it has been sprayed on and allowed to dry it is safe for pets onto the area,but personally i would leave it for 24 hours.The chemical biodegrades on contact with soil so can be planted on when weeds have gone.Only problem with these chemicals is that you may need a spraying certificate to purchase them or you could buy some off a friendly farmer. Hope this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I use salt aswell works a treat.In fact you can buy pure salt that you add to one of these spray cannisters you pump.Dunno the price though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one 8,480 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 We normally pour boiling water of the weeds between the slabs but not on the size of area your talking about Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skinnydogs 0 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Grazon 90. It's about £50 to buy but works and will last years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spade 224 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Try Roundup3000. The normal round up and most other readily available glyphosphate weedkillers has only 120grams/litre of glyphosphate but the 3000 has 360 grams/litre. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
