I've done this on brambles poking through my veg, and sycamore seedlings in my flower bed. It's even worked on mare's tail on the lottie. Just be careful with it, and keep the left over mixture in a screw top jar ready for when you next need it |
Sorry to be a bit of a pain here Maureen but you shouldn't really keep any pesticide that isn't in it's original container. Other people, especially children wouldn't know what it was and if for some reason they were poisoned by it, however unlikely that may be, the doctors wouldn't know what it was either!
MIxing chemicals with other agents could be problematical also. The wallpaper paste/ weedkiller will not dry instantly and could pose a problem to wildlife I would think.
Better safe than sorry!
