Roundup Fast Action Weedkiller Pump 'N Go Ready To Use Spray, 5 Litre

Product Information

Edit * This took longer to take hold – about two months. Now it appears completely dead and I did not re-apply weed killer, just left Gallup to it’s course. I think it’s fair to say Gallup is the best value for money from my tests. This is mathematically proven: It took 3 months to kill a shrub with Gallup – Very impressed with this test Keep children and pets out of treated areas until the product has dried. Do no re-use empty bottle. Product ingredients Generally you can use these product damp but it’s not worth it and you need to think about protecting wildlife and the environment. If you’re going to do it then do it right is where we need to be. This also means don’t clean your drive or patio prior either if you intend to use weed killer. The healthier the weed, the better these systemic weed killers actually work because healthy leaves absorb more toxin basically.

Once the more important facts from the test are established, we will then look at value for money as well as quantities required. And I don’t mean what the manufacturer tells you, I mean the truth from testing 🙂 what is actually effective. Test conditions When a weed killer is designed to kill one weed and leave plants intact. In this article there are two; Weedol Lawn and Resolva. This is often the case with lawn weed and feed. They are specifically designed to kill weeds, kill moss, and fertiliser all in one. Non selective With a capacity of 5 litres, the product allows 10 minutes of continuous spray. Once applied, the solution travels through the leaves straight to the roots, preventing the unwanted plant from growing. The weed killer leaves no residue, so you can safely start replanting in just a week. This is basically a complete wipeout – it won’t differentiate between weeds and plants – generally speaking these will be Glyphosate (the main weed killers I have extensively tested in this article). Preventative Some weed killers start to work within 24 hours, while others might take a week to have much impact. Don’t be tempted to reapply without reading the instructions. If, after the quoted time, you still have persistent weeds hanging in there, there’s usually no harm in giving them another dose to finish them off. Is there an alternative?So for the thistle and bramble I have given less consideration to actual coverage and just blasted them down, saturating them in weed killer. The Weedol brand was launched in the UK in 1906 and has been proving its efficiency for decades. Roundup is produced by Monsanto and acquired by the German pharmaceutical company Bayer. However, these two products differ in both form and ingredients. Best ready-to-use

Residual weed killers: These weed killers target the soil and kill weeds as they’re absorbed through the roots. They’re effective and long-lasting, but their awesome power comes at a price, hanging around in your garden and affecting the soil quality and future plant growth. So let’s say that’s going to be 60m2 per weed killer. I’ve added 36ml of Gallup to 1.5 litres. Following the manufacturer recommended for concentration. Measuring out Gallup concentrate in our test After a couple of weeks Gallup really got to grips with the easy stuff like grass and broad leaf weeds: Gallup tests show grass is very much dead after two weeks Here’s a look at the Gallups bramble and thistle patch after I’ve sprayed it and a couple of weeks has now passed, I haven’t seen good enough results on Weedol and Roundup to document yet. I’ll update when I can: Gallup started to wilt bramble after a couple of weeks 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.We’ve aimed for dry on the ground, and a dry full day from the point of spraying. Anything less than that and I would have gone at it again. We wanted a genuine understanding of what these weed killers can actually do after all. Safety He then explained that we had recently just had a particularly dry spell for the last few weeks, and that the weeds would be reacting to drought and this can make them less likely to absorb the weed killer. Therefore, giving them a light watering for a day or two before applying the weed killer should help. So as you can see, despite being half the price or less of the brand names in terms of how my Glyphosate you get, it’s easily as effective and in my opinion, probably more so, after all, Glyphosate is the main active herbicide. This will eventually end up double the price with a fancy brand attached. Fortunately for now though, we can grab a bargain. When I am looking for the strongest weed killer domestically, I go straight to this product. Approved for use all around the garden, on gravel areas, paths, drives and along fences. ROUNDUP® Fast Action Ready to Use Weedkiller can be used to clean up weedy areas before planting vegetables, flowers, shrubs and to renovate overgrown areas. Cautions For now this is the cut and these are the best/strongest weed killers I am aware of in the UK. What we are going to test.

The person working there was actually very knowledgeable, and he smiled when I told him this before asking me if I’d watered the weeds a little before spraying. Of course, I told him that I hadn’t as I wanted the things dead, not growing and thriving!Avoid spraying on windy days as this will increase the likelihood of ingestion as well as reduce the amount of product that is absorbed on the leaf. If you spot bad weather on the horizon, stop what you’re doing and wait for dry weather. Protect wildlife

I washed down my wellies as well as the garden sprayer after being sure to keep the chemicals out of our home!

So I measured out the land area equally and spread the weed killer – what I noticed was I had reached the end and had plenty left over – so I gave the area another blast – I walked over a treated area which is the wrong thing to do – naturally I cleaned my wellies straight after!
