  • Can you get large tubs of glyphosate weed killer gel

    Going to have blitz on the marestail.
    Need some form of gel such that I can paint it on.
    The standard outlets seem to sell a small container.
    But I need a big tub to get a paint brush in.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Jimmy, I have no clue about sizes
    If it is only available in small tubs, buy several and decant into a tub size suitable girl your paintbrush

      You can mix the diluted product with wallpaper paste to make a gel

          3 cups of flour
          0.5 cup sugar
          Put in a pan with a touch of water and begin to heat making it a smooth paste
          Keep adding water until its the consistency you want (about 2.5 liters worth)
          Add about 75-100ml of the super concentrate glyphosate (Gallup 360, or similar... about £25 for 5 litres)

          Go nuts with the painting!

            Wouldn't it be easier to spray the stuff on?
            Cannot see how you can get consistant/uniform coverage by painting it on, also you are going to have to walk through it, or on it or something. Especially as you seem to want or need a large quantity, so the assumption a large area of marestail.

            There is tough weed variety (Wilkinsons?), think it is simply 3 or 5 times more concentrated, but a sprayer and some of that should do a good job.

              If you do spray it bash it about a bit to help the plant absorb the weed killer.

                Easy to dilute, just apply with a brush:
