steve_b_wales Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Behind the memorial bench for my son, at our local cemetery, there is a lot of brambles/weeds/grass etc growing. This is outside the cemetery grounds and is on land (never used) owned by a farmer. The council cannot do anything about it, and the farmer couldn't care less about it. I've managed to cut/crop a few tree branches that were growing over the fence, and allowing birds to **** all over the bench, and other's. I would like to get a good weed/bramble killer that I can spray directly onto them. What is the best out there? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Steve have a look at "Rosate TF" its a Glyphosate weedkiller the same as Gallop, roundup etc 5 litre for about £35-£40 but not the same price tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Got the pricing a tad wrong Steve its gone up a tenner. 🙃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 You can get specific bramble/brishwood killer but my bottle is down in the garden room and I will have a look in the morning. Better than Glypho. Watch this space. I believe I purchased it from a nursery but may have been a farm supply. If your near a Mole or Mole Valley outlet then call in there.

Rob85 Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 I usually get clinic ace and don't dilute it as much as they say, used it to clear some stuff round the garden, it was like dropping agent orange on the weeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile all the other off the shelves have loads of nasty concoctions in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockySpears Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Is it legal to throw chemicals onto somebody else's land? I know you mean well, and I understand the need, but maybe a better talk with the farmer is more appropriate before taking action that may get you in trouble, RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fandango Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 Grazon pro is the stuff your after, kills brambles, nettles, weeds but not grass,, expensive for a litre bottle but goes along way when mixed… think it’s 60 milli litre per 10 litres..
