    Goodness @weedaway - that is a lot. I don't think you should need it, particularly if you just want to clear up for your lawn. I'd just mark out the lawn area with string into metre squares so you dose it at a consistent rate, and then carefully spray the bits you want completely killed. After that, wait a bit, and perhaps sow a new lawn or even get turf?

      You won't be going short then!
      The stuff i used was only 200mls to five gallons.
      If it's made up too strong it can burn the top growth off, but not penetrate down to the roots.. (that's what i read on the bottle lol)

      The Glyphosate has done quite well so far, its killing the brambles and weeds off quicker than I can cut them down with a lot less effort, this was sprayed only a few weeks ago.

          In all this chaos and brambles I found my apple tree, with fruit on, what a bonus.
