I bought a litre of Rosate 36 last year, and was delighted with the
results.
However, I have forgotten, and cannot find, the recommended dilution for
ordinary garden use - young nettles, dandelions etc.
Any thoughts?

Excellent. Thanks Chris. All I could find were rates per hectare or
whatever :-) My Hozelock sprayer failed, so I was delighted to find a
little O ring in the shed, which seems to have cured that problem.

I just bought some this year and did a back of the fag packet calculation. I came in at about tenfold less of the concentrate for my 5l sprayer than suggested in the first reply (i.e. I thought that about 10ml of the concentrate should suffice). I will check and post my working out.

The pumps with the O-ring on the piston quite often appear to stick and

treatment but some easy pressure on the pump freed it off.
This was after spraying a water based insecticide.

p.s. Are you sure the bottle label doesn't peel away to reveal the

If you buy the small 10ml size bottle of this weed killer - possibly
enough for a small flower pot.

Once we leave the EU can we have sodium chlorate back? I remember a
garden with four foot weeds and we applied NaClO3 and in less that two
hours it looked like the place had been napalmed.
No harmful residues.
I know this substance was previously used for malign purposes but my
understanding is that such persons now use different products instead.

The reason for using it was that it was easy to get. I used it a lot
when young, it makes me shiver now. A little bit of knowledge is a
dangerous thing - I had no idea how sensitive it was when hammering the
ends of a copper tube shut with sugar and sodium chlorate inside.
And the rocket I made with dried chlorate-soaked newspaper rolled up
inside some ally tube didn't lift off, it exploded bigly.

So why will nothing much grow there for a year or so?

I think existing rules apply during the transition period. Anyway, it
was not the manufacturers that restricted it.

So if you want to permanently poison e.g, a driveway, bleach should do
it and it will decay to chlorate and salt. Boiling it first will decay
it lot first.....
"Sodium hypochlorite is stable above pH 12 where the less reactive
hypochlorite is predominant and hypochlorous acid is virtually
non-existent.Decomposition is by Eq. 4 and 5.
4) 3 NaOCl => NaClO3 + 2 NaCl
5) 2 NaOCl => O2 + 2 NaClEq.
4 is the major decomposition reaction forming chlorate (ClO3-) and
chloride (Cl-). This reaction is temperature and concentration
dependent; it is not catalytic. Eq. 5 is catalytic, forming oxygen (O2)
and chloride. Trace metals such as nickel, cobalt and copper form metal
oxides, which cause catalytic decomposition. Light also catalyses this
reaction."

It was probably banned for very different reasons, like ammonia.
