DAVEF Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Can anybody recommend a good strong brand of French weedkiller.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRoss Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I use Glyphos (Glyphosate), similar to Roundup but cheaper, from Brico shops diluted as per instructions then sprayed on and you can replant after a week or two. I think Sodium Chlorate may have been withdrawn and in any case it tends to poison the soil for some long time after use........................................JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gluestick Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Agree, JR: so do I.If one looks around Glysophosphate (Glyphosate), is readily obtainable as a common désherbant: my last bottle came from M.Bricolage, is strong and makes up gallons of ready to use fluid. Great for nettles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Théière Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 That applies to the farmers as well does it?I will file that next to the €45,000 fine for not having a pool alarm [:)]Sorry Dave, not shooting the messenger [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Good advice avice. Many herbicides can either pollute water courses or de-oxygenate the water. The UK have had controls in place for a long time. (But did they tell the farmers..I wonder too!)Grumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
