Do weed killers and plant foods have a shelf life.
We have lots of different kinds and not sure if we should have a clear out and buy some new ones.
Many Thanks

Both, specially weedkiller, still work long time after expiring date.

Weed killers have become very difficult to get on the east of island unless you have a permit. A simple enough 1ltr bottle of a basic herbicide such as Roundup (if it is still no sale), means the shop cannot sell to you unless you produce a permit. No idea where to get a permit so now use a vinegar, washing up liquid and salt mix and that combo kills most weeds within days.

What's the quantity of each for the mix?

Is it white vinegar or malt vinegar?

Thanks Guys for your replies, I'll tell the wife.

For the ladies, I'm just the muscle in the garden and just do what I'm told.

I use White Vinegar x 2ltrs, a cup of salt, a good squirt of washing up liquid. Get yourself a spray bottle or just pour it straight from a bottle onto the weeds when the sun is shining and no rain in immediate forecast. Not met a weed type yet it won't deal with.
