looking for weed killer

doctorchopper · 2014-08-30 09:06:51

Hi there, looking for some weed killer for the front of the house. It is all cobble lock and weeds and grass are starting to grow between the bricks. Roundup seems to be crazy expensive, is there a alternative preferably in south dublin

Gallup, but roundup is slightly better you might want to add a residual weedkiller (premazor 57) to the mix, but if you don't like the price of the ru then you really won't like the price of that.

The cheapest albeit time consuming way is to use boil water with salt and vinegar. It's time consuming because if you want to keep it cheap I recycle the water used to cook (i.e from boiling pasta or potatoes etc.) adding a bit of vinegar. Of course you'll need to tackle the weed by area and it may take time to cover your area depending on your menu .
