I've used Round-Up before with decent results but this time I thought I'd save a buck or two by buying Ultra-Kill Weed & Grass Killer concentrate.  The 32 oz. bottle is supposed to make 12 gallons of spray.  I mixed a quart spray bottle at the recommended concentration and sprayed some grass and weeds that were encroaching on an ornamental landscape area.  I expected them to be dead the next day but they weren't so I waited a couple more days.  They just kept growing so I doubled the concentration and sprayed again.  3 - 4 days later a few had turned yellow on some of the leaves but most were just as green as ever.  I doubled the concentration again and sprayed a third time. 

Now 3 days later two or three weeds look like they may have died but most everything is still green and growing.  By now there are only about 6 - 8 oz. left so today I poured that full strength into my spray bottle and hit the weeds a 4th time.  I don't know yet if that worked but I shouldn't have had to spray full strength on a concentrate that was supposed to make 12 gallons.  I got less than a gallon and may not have killed the weeds in a fairly small area (about 35 sq. ft).  The bottle says it should cover 3,600 sq. ft.  At that rate I did not save money... I wasted money.  No, I am not happy with this product.  I'm not only disappointed, I'm disgusted.  Time AND money wasted.  I will be taking the empty bottle back to Lowe's and complaining there too, and buying a different brand next time.

 I'm not sure what kind of weeds you were using it on, but in my experience this stuff works like crazy. It doesn't work as fast as ROUNDUP, and that may be the source of your disappointment. At first I was disappointed as well, until I realized that I had set my result expectations far too high. This weed killer takes more time to kill than ROUNDUP, but it does kill. In fact, it kills stuff that roundup didn't. Usually takes about 7 -10 days to kill completely, but EVERYTHING I sprayed it on died, and stayed dead all summer long. The only thing I have used that works any better, is a product called 'Ground Clear', which does exactly what it says.
