Upon first use, the pumping mechanism and flow were steady. The priming instructions were easy to follow and the spray was narrow and focused for a few minutes (definitely not 5 as advertised). After the spray stopped, just another few pumps, and I was spraying again in no time. I doused the weeds, being generous with the amount of solution I used during the first application, almost daring this product not to work. Adjust spray pattern by turning the nozzle. Aim 50cm from target weed and press the white trigger. Spray to lightly wet the leaves while avoiding run-off.

Roundup ® Fast Action Ready to Use Weedkiller Pump ‘n Go

This means I spend a good portion of my year with weeds on my mind. Some of my weeds have aesthetically pleasing buds of purples and yellows. Others are hideous green stalks that were over 11 feet tall when I bought the house. There is always a weed killer and weed preventer in my gardening shed, but I have yet to find the most effective product. I was hopeful, for a time, that I had found it in Roundup Weed & Grass Killer Plus Pump ‘N Go (I have yet to figure out what the “Plus” part of the product name refers to). I worked at removing the lid for ten minutes to no avail. If this is a refillable bottle, why is the lid so difficult to remove? I spent some time spraying the solution into my squirt bottle using the nozzle before I got frustrated and gave up, leaving the Roundup and the nearly empty squirt bottle sitting in my garage to this day. Keep children and pets out of treated areas until the product has dried. Do no re-use empty bottle. Product ingredients For use on unwanted vegetation in paths, drives, patios, and around the bases of roses, ornamental shrubs and trees.

The gardens are virtually maintenance-free.” Famous last words. If by “maintenance-free” the former homeowner meant, “anything and everything will grow even if you don’t do a thing,” then now I understand his meaning. The property I bought had been unlived in for a year. This absenteeism, mixed with extremely fertile grounds that had been carefully cultivated for almost 55 years, resulted in heavy-duty weeds starting in early April that grew at an alarming rate.
