The 5L container comes with an extendable lance and nozzle, designed to adjust from jet to spray for effective application. No need to buy a separate garden sprayer for the job. Pros It’s worth mentioning that Roundup Concentrate weed killer is degraded in soil by micro-organisms, therefore, replanting and sowing can be done after a few days. Make sure to keep children and pets out of treated areas until the herbicide dries as with all weedkillers. Pros

Also known as soil acting herbicides, we would not advise using these weedkillers on your farm or in your garden as they sit in the soil for several months, inhibiting any form of growth from happening. Some of them can poison the soil and render it useless for cultivation. Avoid using these herbicides in areas that you intend to grow crops in the next two years or more. Selective: The one to reach for when you’re weeding your lawn, as they’re formulated to target broad-leaved plants rather than skinny-leaved ones like grass. Here we have four different characteristics; selectivity, emergence, persistence and translocation.Roundup 5 Litre Fast Action Weedkiller Pump n Go Sprayer– Ready to use, even comes with a sprayer, effective on young weeds.

The type of weed for your garden is a consideration you need to make, but that’s not the end of it. Here are more pointers to help you arrive at the ideal herbicide for your garden: Season of use A slightly more targeted method is using a watering can and applying the diluted mix straight to the leaves of the weeds you want gone. Again though you can end up getting your weed killer on plants you don’t want to kill. Also known as herbicides or weedicides, weedkillers are crucial tools for avid gardeners and homeowners. They work to eliminate unwanted plants and restrict their normal growth. The weed killer comes as a concentrate which you dilute down and can then spray/water onto your weeds. Just a little note here, this stuff can hang around in your sprayer/watering can even after rinsing them out, so never use the same watering can that you use for your plants!I’ve been involved in garden maintenance and worked at my family’s nursery for over 20 years. I’ve also had my chemicals spraying licence for as long which I need to spray weedkillers professionally. Now most professional-grade weedkillers are not available to the general public. However, there are a few that are just as strong and very effective that are still available. There are many types of weeds. In this review, we will differentiate weedkillers by these two aspects; characteristic and application. Weedkillers by characteristic An integral measuring device is inbuilt in the weedkiller bottle - remove the cap and carefully squeeze the container to fill the measurement chamber so, what did I find in my Rootblast weed killer review? Well, this is a very effective weed killer and I had no problems using it. If you want something effective and are not worried about it being Glyphosate-based then Rootblast is a great choice and I recommend it.

Rootblast Super Strength Concentrated Glyphosate Total Weed Killer– A great alternative to Gallup, just as effective but can take an extra week or two to see the effects – long lasting as it kills the roots and not just the top of the weedIt works by diluting the concentrate with water though you can still apply straight from the sachet to destroy stubborn woody weeds so would be good for killing horsetail by using straight from the sachet. It is a systematic weedkiller that contains ammonium salt of glyphosate. Once the herbicide is absorbed on unwanted plants, it is carried throughout the plant system by sap, down to the root where it starts to work. Effects are visible in 1-2 weeks so patience is needed with this one, but this is the price you pay for excellent results. When it comes to mixing, for spraying a patio or weeds in general, you need to mix 15ml of concentrate per litre of water, so if you have a 10-litre sprayer, mix 150ml with 10 litres of water. Each litre should treat about 25 square meters with a sprayer. Just make sure you are patient when you’ve applied this Rootblast weed killer, as it doesn’t show the effects as fast as the Gallup weedkiller does as it is mixed at a slightly weaker ratio. I find it takes around 7 days to start showing. However, it often takes about 3 weeks for the weeds to become brown and die. Remember that this weed killer gets right down into the weed’s roots, and that takes time as well. Can be used mixed with water for the more common weeds or undiluted those stubborn and harder to kill weeds. Avoid using liquid weedkillers on rainy days because rainfall will just wash away the chemicals and make the entire exercise useless.

This Gallup Commercial Strength Weedkiller works on a variety of weeds but it does take a week or two to see the results. This is my favourite weedkiller and I’ve used it for over 15 years and have never had any issues. Very effective and works great on all surfaces including hard and gravel driveways. The left side has been sprayed with weedkiller and the right side has not, results after only 3 week! Persistence –there are persistent weedkillers that destroy everything and prevent regrowth, and non-persistent that have no lasting effect on weed regrowth.This weed killer comes ready mixed in a bottle, so there is no mixing to worry about. You decant it into your own spray bottle like I do. The 5 Litre of weedkiller will cover approximately 175m2 of ground. Pros
