Product Information

With a fine rose or a weedkiller sprinkle bar that will give you effective control over where you apply the weedkiller. Remember a separate watering can is advisable if accidental damage to other plants during normal watering is to be avoided. Use a pressure sprayer Glyphosate – kills the majority of plants, including perennial grasses, so it’s not one that you want to accidentally get on the lawn or flowerbed. It is effective at killing well-established weeds because it works from inside the weed itself. After being absorbed by the leaves and stalk of the weed, glyphosate spreads to the rest of the plant, including the roots. In recent years, it’s developed a reputation for being dangerous; however the jury is out on a definitive conclusion. Some studies have found it to be carcinogenic, whilst others consider it safe for humans to use as long as the instructions are followed. Glyphosate is also thought to negatively affect wildlife such as bees and aquatic life. It can stay in the soil for a long time as well.

A1: It can be used between April and November on a dry calm day when the weeds are actively growing and have sufficient leaf surface to absorb enough weedkiller to kill the weeds. A3: Yes, use 1 tube Weedol Ultra Tough in 1 litre of water in a sprayer or 5 litres of water in a watering can and apply to 14 square metres when the leaves have fully expanded. Brambles may need a second application after 28 days. A lot of products kill grass as well as weeds; however, there are a few weed-killer gems worth knowing about if you’re keen to clear your lawn without damaging it. This Weedol Lawn Weed Killer is successful at removing clover, dandelions and other unwanted culprits from lawns, without scorching or killing off the grass. This makes it one of the best selective weed killers, making it possible to carry out targeted weed killing on the lawn! The following information will help you work out how to find the best weed killer for your garden: Different Varieties of Weed Killer MCPA – stands for ‘2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid’ and is used to keep broadleaf weeds like thistle at bay.It may well be just as dangerous as Glyphosate, several studies indicate it is more toxic than Glyphosate to humans. There are a couple of reasons why this pump spray weed killer speeds up the process of getting rid of pesky weeds, and it comes down to both its effectiveness, and its straight-forward application style. Here we will look at the ingredients of weed killers, based on what type of weed killer they’re most commonly used in. There are selective weed killers (only targeting certain plans), non-selective weed killers (not fussy about what plants they kill) and organic weed killers (using ingredients from nature).

Dicamba – effective against broadleaf weeds like milkweed, as well as woodier plants like brambles. The ideal conditions are after a shower, but when you know that it will be dry for a couple of days after that. At this time, the weeds are receptive, and it also gives the weed killer time to be absorbed and do its job effectively. With the testing out of the way – let’s take a look at what I learned. I put together a buyers guide based on my testing and years of experience that should help you considerably. What you need to know before using weed killer The Resolva is a spray gun that is already mixed and ready to go. The idea is quite simple, in the warmer months (Mar-Sept) simply spot apply this to the areas of leafy weeds. This is the main difference with Weedol lawn killer actually. They want you to mix up into a garden sprayer and hit the entire lawn. As a result it’s hard to tell which is more value other than to look at it from a meterage basis – you’ll get about 50m2 from a spray bottle vs 600m2 from the Weedol concentrate. It works well, successfully killing off tough perennial weeds like dandelions, and clearing larger weeded areas too, although the claims of ‘24-hour effectiveness’ are somewhat optimistic.Systemic weed killers: Systemic weed killers are usually taken in through the foliage, and from there spread through the rest of the plant to its roots. This gives the weed killer a decent fighting chance of killing off the whole plant. They usually take longer to act, but are effective against the plants they’re designed to kill. What’s more, they don’t hang around in the soil afterward, which means it’s safe to plant again. Value for Money: When assessing value for money, I identified how many litres of weed killer you received, the treatment area it covers, and the price point. Products that covered a higher surface area and still retained their effectiveness (for example, a 2 L bottle able to cover over 3000 sqm) were rated higher than those that only covered a smaller surface area for the same – or similar – price. I also assessed the additional features that come with a weed killer, as these products give you better value for money. Doff is not a weed killer for lawns or flowerbeds where you have lots of plants growing as based on the results of my testing, it will take out everything. This is the strong stuff and I feel it’s best suited to persistent weeds or situations where you need to destroy all plant life in a large area so you can start from scratch. This weed killer can kill all greenery (including your lawn!) so a lot of care needs to be taken. If you spray any weeds on your lawn, you’ll likely affect the surrounding area too. For this reason, it’s better for individuals or clusters of weeds on your driveway or patio. There are also products out there called weed and feed, and these are usually good for lawns as they are a mix of chemicals that can kill weeds but also fertilise your lawn, giving you the best of both worlds. The effectiveness of these kinds of products does vary quite a lot from brand to brand, so watch what you spend your money on. Possible problems with weed killers

However, there are some other weed-removal options that you can consider, or that you might want to use alongside chemical weed killers: Selective weed killer is usually safe to use on lawns as it won’t kill off the grass. It will only target and kill specific types of plans (eg. weeds). Selective weed killer is normally clearly sold as being lawn safe. Therefore, if a weed killer doesn’t mention being safe for lawns, don’t use it on grass (unless you don’t mind the grass getting scorched).As well as tough, woody weeds, SBK is also capable of getting rid of tree stumps; a diluted solution needs to be poured into drilled holes in the wood which turns the stump soft and mushy after about a month.

It’s actually so strong, it has no problem dealing with the nastiest problems like Japanese Knotweed and Ivy. If you have this type of issue then I would recommend using this product ahead of all others. If you have a large patch to clear then in about two weeks this will show tremendous signs of killing off most annual and perennials. Here’s a look at a two week treatment that you can expect from using the product: These are amazing for treating large areas. Always read the label to find out which application method (watering can or sprayer) is suitable for the product you want to use. Do not walk across treated areas until dry, to avoid the transfer of products onto desired plants. Weed by handIn terms of active herbicide the Resolva weed killer uses it’s the old it goes for the old mecoprop-p and dicamba combo. Here’s the safety sheet if you’re interested but there’s nothing out the ordinary – safety wise: respiratory kit, don’t get it on your hands and definitely not in your eyes – with regards to wildlife, you don’t want this going anywhere near your pond or water sources like all the other weed killers.
