Roundup gel on bindweed

afternoon, what are your opinions on roundup gel, is it any good or just got to keep digging the weeds out every couple of weeks?

    Short answer, it works!

    Yes, it works ... but you have to give it time.

  • I have a love / hate relationship with the stuff. Im a keen 'no chem' wildlife gardener but am celebrating my first japanese knotweed-free year thanks to Roundup gel. Yes, it works. A necessary evil you might say.

    According to OH breathing in air containing oxygen causes oxydation which causes cancer ... or something along those lines involving free radicals..... stop breathing folks! 

    If you carry on breathing don't say you haven't been warned image

    Correct Dove, I thought you would know it.

    Your OH is correct about oxygen to.
