    Planning a few acres of reseeding soon. Badly poached with a few years. Plenty of docks there. Mowed it a month ago, to get the docks nice and leafy before spraying.

    What's the options other than roundup, to kill off everything, from grass, to docks, to a few rushes, nettles and briars.
    Saw roundup locally today at €108 for five gallon drum.

    Rosate - same active ingredient - glyphosate.
    Check the concentration rate when comparing prices.

    you must undo the buckle of your belt automatically when you walk into that merchant. I would consider 80 quid dear. Is that 60 plus Vat?

    No, €60 inc Vat.
    Its mid may since I was up there, but I presume that prices have remained the same or decreased with the stronger € vs £ in recent weeks.

    Haha, I only browse in there to have a nosey at the prices. Anything I'm seriously considering buying I do a bit of investigating on prices.
