Would you not try sodium glysophate in any product labelled for weed control
and avoid the high cost of the name brand.
A second observation here is that this product does not work under certain
cool temperatures. If you want optimum results you need to apply on a warm
day and in the full sun. Doing it this way gives results in 3 or 4 days. We
use it on driveway cracks and on a gravel drive. Weeds in the garden are not
a chore to remove. I may not be understanding this discussion but weeding is
part of gardening. A chemical remedy for weeding borders and beds will limit
clumping and reseeding.
If one does not wish to weed a garden I don't know what the answer would be.
