RoundUp WeedKiller lessons
| I was over at Sears Hardware debating whether to pick up the regular pre-mixed, spray bottle RoundUp or the concentrated version that makes 2.5 gallons of Roundup or 5 gallons (slightly more diluted) of Roundup. I ended up getting the 15 ounce bottle of concentrate. I mixed it up using 6 ounces of Roundup to 1 gallon of water. It seems to be taking much longer to kill the weeds. I’ve sprayed them three times now.
What I suppose happened, is that Sears probably doesn’t move much of the concentrate so who knows how long that stuff has sat on the shelf. I imagine over time that it breaks down and isn’t as effective. |

| So if you go to buy Roundup, opt for the pre-mixed, spray bottle version or check with the store to make sure the concentrated version of Roundup hasn’t been sitting on the shelf for over a year. |
