i got a bad weed with a ton of wood chips over the top of it and it probably has some deep roots i was hoping on freezing a empty soup can full of round up and let it slowly melt on the weed all day, but i am not sure if it safe to freeze round up , or if it will freeze at all?

Actually, Roundup will freeze. Problem is Glyphosate, the main active ingredient, becomes less effective if it ever freezes. Round-up is foliage activated, so a good dousing should do it. Check your concentrations on the bottle. Round-up sold at different locations has different concentrations of Glyphosate. Or like someone else recommended...use gas.

Just use saltwater, it is the cheapest and most effective weed killer, Do not freeze roundup the chemicals while freezing are probably going to end up in the other food and stuff you have in the freezer.

in case you used Roundup, aka glyphosate, you could plant once the soil is warmth adequate on your crop. Glyphosate is made inactive as quickly because that is on the marketplace in contact with the soil. minimum until eventually farmers will fix the booms to spray round up on modern-day flowers even as they're planting (the end is oftentimes 3 to six ft in the front of the disc openers). I oftentimes wait seventy 2 hours after spraying before I plant. I attempt this to make effective my herbicide coverage is adequate and that i did not bypass over any elements of the container.. even if I attempt this for analyze, no longer for production applications.

Ok, this is a 50/50 guess. I'm going with no. Probably because it has some kind of "zol" in it, which I doubt will freeze.
As my motto goes, there's only one way to know.
Good luck.

Check the label for alcohol --even it's not there it'll probably freeze. My guess is it would be stronger at first and lose potency as it melts.....

No, most weed killers are ineffective if they go through too much of a temperature change.

Diesel, pour diesel over anything unwanted such as weeds.

Just use gas. It kills it.
Round up turns to fertilizer after it is diluted, just like ammonia.
