      Jathomas was that the 41% Round up at that price? You can find the generic 41% Gly occasionally for about $40/2.5 gal.

      2,4-D kills broadleaf weeds only and wont kill grass type weeds. You can buy small quart sizes without a license at tractor supply....I bought some yesterday.

        Only broadleaf weeds...I'd offer more advice but there is plenty here. Most OTC generic weed products have 2,4-D in them. Any generic gly product will work for most weeds. I think we're paying around $50 for a 2.5 gal jug, and you can mix as low as 1 oz to 3 oz per gal depending on the weather and highs and lows.

            I will second these. I have used Eraser a lot. The one I buy has a surfactant mixed in.

              Diesel, for 1.33 gallons it should only cost ya about 4 bucks!

                Ok! For those who have specified "concentrated". Thank you! That is the answer I was looking for. Thanks for the replies TBH!

                    Watch tractor supply ads. They have the generic 41% for $39 several times over the summer..2 1/2 gal. If I'm after brush or vines I'll add some surfactant like Top Surf. If just grass, you don't need the surfactant.

                        I wear nitrile mechanics gloves when mixing it up. You don't want the concentrate on your skin getting absorbed into your body. Not good for you.

                              Maybe "glycenol" costs that little (I don't know a google search turned up nada) but glyphosate costs much more than that!

                                Sorry not a spelling bee champion or chemist. The off brand 2.5 gallon round up you can get at any fertilizer plant is the product i'm referring to...

                                If you are paying more that $30 then they are making good money. We buy it by the drum.
