    Does anyone know where is the best value to get these guys. Have used a few different types and found them all good. Gave 35e a litre for torpedo last year and I thought it very expensive. The last stuff I used before that was headland rhino which was around 20e a litre. Local co-ops don't stock them either. Found they both made a big difference spraying rushes.

    If you think it’s designed to be used in a household setting I seriously doubt there is anything in it to damage diaphragms that are designed to withstand harsh chemicals.

    How much to add per 100l would be a bigger question ?

    Used some last year but found no advantage to weeds/rushed that were sprayed without it. Thought it was a waste of money and it foamed up the sprayer while agitating.
