Ever since glyfosaat became prohibited to use in weed killers, i’ve been spraying away my money and 3-4 weeks later everything just starts growing again. Before glyfosaat became prohibited, i used to spray and weeds stayed away for months.
It just feels like a complete waste of money these days, Roundup, Edialux, Compo, all of them. I’ve heard some people saying to use “industriële azijn”, while others say it doesnt work either. I know it isn’t good to use on your “klinkers”, but since i have an older house, they are worn anyway.
Anyone have some advice for products that work? Spraying away a 45€ Roundup concentrate and seeing everything grow back 3 weeks later is a serieus waste of money in my opinion.

You’ve got these gas burners..

You can still buy the good stuff in Poland. One of the perks of being an EU member.
I have the same problem in my lawn. Wish I had the answer…
I did convert about 60 square meters of lawn into a flower meadow and planted more than a hundred perennial plants to attract bees and butterflies. Lots of work, but the garden looks a lot better, and there’s less lawn/weeds to take care of. The lawn that is still there, is still overrun with weeds though.. but there’s less monoculture and more climate robustness.
I tried verticutting the remaining lawn in 2 directions, reseeding and fertilizing a week ago. The weeds are back quicker than the grass…
Wel de grond zouten maakt ze ook onvruchtbaar, maar dan wel voor alles
Manual labour and a lot of time works wonders
Just use roundup. Nobody will come and check what you use
Fun fact about round up and glyphosate.
Glyphosate takes several weeks to kill a plant, and it doesn’t turn brown from from it. They just add other weedkillers to make the plant go brown in a day to give poeple the idea it works fast
They say that boiling water works
[This one does](https://www.bol.com/nl/p/gardena-city-gardening-onkruidsteker/9200000074898181?referrer=socialshare_pdp_androidapp).
I use this all the time in my garden and it works best of all. No side-effects, safe for my kids to play outside and harmess to my appletree
vinegar works pretty good but not against all weeds
My high ass thinking you wanted Minavez back in the market 😆 but when I read Glyphosat I knew I waw wrong 🤣
Javel
Washing powder does wonders
Throwing some salt wil kill the weeds but you’ll hav eto pull them out manually. They stay away for a while though
Just let it grow man. Fucking poison.
Not good for water creatures and amphibians bit plain old vinegar will kill stiff as well, just don’t dillute it.

Just buy the real stuff in Poland
Best product against onkruid is this method called “having your kids pull it out”. Can cost you up to 5 euro or 30 minutes of computer time. If you don’t have your own kids ask the neigbours kids.
As a professional gardener I have a fyto-license, which means that I can buy and use products that still have glyfosaat in them. I use Premazor turbo (former zapper) and it works fine. You can always look for 1 to acquire products to use against weeds.
My guy, you know that glyphosate only works against plants that already sprouted right?
It needs to hit the leaves to work. You can’t do preventaitive glyphosate spraying and people like you are exactly why it was banned for non professional use.
They even spray roundup after sowing to suppress plants that germinated before the planted seeds did.
Use 4 times the recommended amount, sure it’s expensive, but I have yet see a plant survive that. But the problem is, by law these products need to be degradable, so they only work in the moment. There are no long term weed killers in the consumer space.
