Roundup works by being absorbed through the leaves of the plant . That's why people use it to " edge " around their trees . And it doesn't hang around in the soil very long .Theoretically glyphosate binds to clay soils, which is why it doesn't have much action with roots. But if you had a plant growing in water (done that in my kitchen with green onion bulbs) it would probably kill via absorption through the roots.
But there's probably a point where it can't absorb any more, although it also biodegrades. I certainly wouldn't count on just dousing soil with Roundup just to sterilize the soil.
That's what Mansanto says. And maybe the original glyphosate was but there are different compounds mixed and labelled and "RoundUp"Roundup works by being absorbed through the leaves of the plant .

I've seen this recipeI've sorta been disappointed in the results of Round Up 365. I want something that kills and plant life for eternity. I'm not concerned
about anything but flat out killing everything that is living a few areas of my driveway, side of my garage and flower gardens. I am familiar how Round Up works. Somebody told me Killzall 365 was good stuff.

I use this and use about 20% more in the mix than they say. A real knockout.
These vinegar/surfactants concoctions spread with rain or watering and start killing more than you intended …I've seen this recipe
- Horticultural vinegar (20% to 30% acidity)
- Water
- Dish soap
- Garden sprayer
- Another website has similar but adds capsaicin extract and supposedly nothing comes back after.
I have used this recipe with meager results. Did not always take out the root system.I've seen this recipe

I'm no environazi but wow, glad some of you aren't near my drinking well ground water.

oh this is this original list I was looking forI have used this recipe with meager results. Did not always take out the root system.
The salt is something that you really want to avoid getting into the soil. It can cause cellular plasmolysis down the road to other plants.oh this is this original list I was looking for
- 3 cups distilled white vinegar
- 3/4 cup regular table salt
- 2 tsp blue Dawn dish soap (works best, but can use others)
- 3 tsp liquid arthritis rub (seriously!!!, see notes below)
- Spray Bottle
- Homemade weed killer supposedly the arthritis rub is the catch. I haven't been able to find any.
Arthritis rub active ingredients are methyl salicylate (major component of oil of wintergreen - and a relative of aspirin) - you can get an ointment "ung methyl sal" from chemist cheap, and Capsicain.oh this is this original list I was looking for

Crossbow is quite effective at killing woody shrubs and a wide variety of broad leaf plants, but it's not a persistent, broad spectrum herbicide. I have had good success with it for controlling BlackBerry vines, though.
Schaeffers neutra, neat. Spilled some on a patch of grass three years ago and nothing grows in that spot even today.I want the most deadliest potent dangerous killer there is. LOL
If I gotta wear gloves up to my elbows, wrap my body in saran wrap, cover with hip waders and goggles and a Covid Mask. LOL
