Vitax SBK 250ml Brushwood Killer Tough Weedkiller

Product Information

Triclopyr is an organic compound that kills woody weeds, fungi and vines such as poison ivy. Its really effective against any broadleaf weeds.

Most customers report having maximum success with this product when it is applied directly to the roots (using the supplied pipette) or into drill holes in tree stumps. Apply a weedkiller directly to the stump, concentrating it in the outer ring of live tissue just beneath the bark It is worth specifying how deep you would like the stump ground to. Shallow grinding, 20-25cm (8-10in), is normally sufficient for laying turf, but you should allow for deeper, 30cm (1ft), or more if replanting or landscaping. Also think about what you want to do with the sawdust. It can be left to fill in the hole, used as mulch in other areas of the garden, or taken away by the contractors. Specify which of these you would prefer before the work is started and be sure to have any diseased wood removed completely.I tested various weed killers to identify the best of the best, so you don’t have to. I was looking for the most effective and eco-friendly weed killer, so I conducted a comprehensive test assessing the following factors: Another thing I love about this product is the fact that it is free of glyphosate, which is a particularly nasty chemical, toxic to the environment and even to humans and animals. This means that the health and happiness of your garden, family and pets is guaranteed with Vitax, which certainly puts my mind at ease.

However, the results are reliably positive, albeit slow – it takes around one week for clover to start visibly yellowing and dying. There may still be the occasional dandelion that needs to be removed by hand after using Weedol Weed Killer, but it does a fairly comprehensive job of clearing the lawn (without harming the lawn itself). Although it is not a legal requirement to wear protective clothing when handling and using amateur/home pesticides, the RHS recommends wearing gloves, Wellington boots and other protective clothing as a sensible precaution. Links Residual weed killer is applied to the soil and prevent seeds from germinating. Whilst it stops weeds from growing, it also tends to stop any other plants from germinating as well. Residual weed killer is long lasting, remaining active in the ground for around 12 months. In addition to posing a safety issue for humans, tree stumps are also known for sapping nutrients from the plants growing around them, prohibiting growth. They can also harbour some nasty fungus, especially if the stump is remnants from a diseased tree. This can be devastating for neighbouring plants, and even dangerous for pets or young kids playing in the garden.When spraying weeds, you should spray enough that the weed is wet, wet the underneath, stems, buds and upper surface of the leaves without excessive run-off. There are times when cutting down a tree is the only option, whether we like it or not. This is especially the case if the tree is diseased or posing a safety risk.

Additionally, these weed killers are poisonous to bees as well; they perturb their guts. For this reason, the use of weed killer in the Winter has its advantages, if you can find a period of dry weather as there are very few bees around. Consider a weed burner, a weed puller, or a hoe first before actually using a weed killer in your garden during spring and summer months first. It does contain glyphosate, which is toxic to ponds and pollinators. It’s broken down into the soil so isn’t bad for the environment in that sense, but you do need to be careful to keep children and pets off the affected area until it’s dried. Once treated, a repeat treatment can be applied after six weeks. Allow six weeks between application and re-planting. SBK Brushwood Killer should not be applied during drought or in freezing conditions. Dilute as per product instructions and keep away from cultivated plants. Use plant protection products safely and always read the label. Keep out of reach of animals and children.
