I completely agree. I have the same problem about garden as well as aquarium products. It seems that some people do not like the simplicity of percentage.

I thought readers might be interested. HARRY WYETH -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: Scotts Miracle Gro Contact Center Response Ref #12382520 Date: Thu, 5 May 2016 20:03:03 -0700 From: Harry Wyeth <hbwy...@gmail.com><mailto:hbwy...@gmail.com> To: roun...@scotts.com<mailto:roun...@scotts.com> Dear Eula, Thanks for your email. But you sent me a canned response, except for the "Mr. Wyeth" part. I am not stupid, and I know all about the metric system. My email was to try to force someone in authority to even think about why Monsanto does not list metric mixing instructions on its Roundup concentrate jug. It would be so easy to do! Actually, the mix for Roundup concentrate is about 1%, or 10 mL per L, and double that for extra strength. What could be simpler? Why do I have to get out the calculator to obtain this answer? Why can't Monsanto just say so on the label? It is beyond me how opaque the marketing people are at this company. Couldn't you forward this to someone in authority to at least get them to think about this?

I am very sorry that you feel that the label of Roundup Weed & Grass Killer Super Concentrate is misleading, Mr. Wyeth. Please note that there are two dilution rates listed on the label; 1.5 ounces per gallon, and 2.5 ounces per gallon. If you are trying to control hardy, perennial weeds, use the higher 2.5 ounce per gallon dilution rate. Easy-to-control, annual weeds can be effectively controlled at the lower 1.5 ounce per gallon dilution rate. The following will show you approximately how much coverage you can expect from your container of Weed & Grass Killer Super Concentrate: Quart Gallon 1.5 ounces per gallon 6,300 square feet 26,000 square feet 2.5 ounces per gallon 3,900 square feet 15,360 square feet Mr. Wyeth, there are 1,000 milliliters in 1 liter.
