Hi @Cranswick ,

The following products are non-selective, will kill most vegetation they contact and do not contain glyphosate. They work quickly, but tougher perennial weeds may need repeat applications.

A couple of options worth looking at are:

* OCP 1L Slasher Weedkiller Concentrate - 1L
* Richgro 1L Beat-A-Weed Natural Weedkiller Concentrate Refill
* Seasol 1L EarthCare Organic Weedkiller Concentrate

If you are looking for a specific suggestion, I'd recommend the Slasher, which is Nonanoic Acid-based.

Just keep in mind:

* They work best on actively growing weeds
* Coverage needs to be thorough
* You’ll likely need repeat treatments on larger established weeds or acreage.

For a couple of acres, you may also want to combine spraying with slashing or mechanical removal for better long-term control.
