Weedol Ultra Tough WeedKiller Liquid Concentrate, 6+2 Tubes

Product Information

In recent years, it’s developed a reputation for being dangerous; however the jury is out on a definitive conclusion. Now Weedol has spawned a family of weedkillers - all with the qualities of the original, but with extra benefits. 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. This is not necessarily due to any shortcoming of the herbicide itself, but related to how plants absorb moisture.

A4: Some reaction may be seen in a day or so and weed death happens in 14-28 days in good growing conditions. After being absorbed by the leaves and stalk of the weed, glyphosate spreads to the rest of the plant, including the roots. Mecoprop-p – good at controlling knotweed and clover as well as other broadleaf weeds before they have reached maturity. However, glyphosate poisons pollinators, so please do at least snap off any flowering heads before applying the weedkiller. Also, it’s worth noting, that whilst WeedFree Plus does seem to attack weeds down to their roots, it does not remain in the soil (unlike residual weed killers).

The treated area can be re-planted 7 days after spraying (to allow the weedkiller to move to the roots before cultivation). This product requires diluting, so a lot of care needs to be taken not to get the product on your skin. Keeping informed about the growing habits of different weeds can help, as you can try to dissuade certain species from growing in your garden. 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).

Another thing to mention is that as the product arrives in individual packets, which isn’t particularly good for the environment. The smell alone is enough to indicate that it’s exceptionally powerful, so while it is very effective, a lot of care needs to be taken during use. However, organic ingredients are generally considered less damaging for the environment and wildlife.The top label needs to be peeled back to reveal the safety instructions, which for such a toxic product, really should be easier to spot! My advice is to look for a large capacity that will treat a surface area of at least 100 m² as these will generally offer the best value for money. This non-selective weed killer has a 5 L capacity and doesn’t require dilution, spraying straight from the bottle.
