Product Information

If your weed killer damages your lawn, you can repair it by sowing grass seeds in the affected areas. We’ve tested the best grass seed in the UK in our guide. General Weed Control Prevention Is the Best Cure Overall, this is certainly one of the best weed killers for getting rid of tougher weeds and tree stumps, but it does need to be used with patience as the results aren’t instant. Also, it offers quite good value for the price, with the 1 L bottle containing enough formula to cover up to 332 m² when diluted. Not all weed killers are the same. Some are designed to work on a specific species of weed whereas some are considered to be more of a general purpose weed killer. There are even differences in how each product neutralises weeds as well as a vast difference in the ingredients used to complete the task.

It comes as a concentrated liquid, so you need to dilute the weed killer before applying it to the garden. This is done by adding 30 ml of weed killer into 6 L of water (if using a watering can and a fine rose). This produces enough weed killer solution to treat an area of 10 m². Florasalum – effective against dandelions, white clover and daisies before the plants have reached maturity. Fertilising your garden will keep it healthy and increase the strength of your plants and flowers. This will make it much harder for invasive weeds to take hold as there’ll be a dense root system preventing them from germinating properly. Forks, trowels and hoes are good to have in the armoury against stubborn weeds. But sometimes you need something more. An effective weed killer can help truly eliminate weeds, keeping your garden looking pristine. Plus, they’re not only useful in the battle against common weeds; certain weed killers can get rid of brambles, nettles and thistles as well. One thing to note about this weed killer is that it doesn’t work especially fast. To kill the roots, it needs around 3-4 weeks. While the weeds do start to wilt within a few hours, it takes 7 days before I actually felt the weed killer was working! Despite the slower results, it does work as well as others on the market, and it’s very easy to use.With glyphosate as its primary ingredient, this product does need to be handled and used with care. It’s toxic to pollinators and pond life, and children / pets need to be kept off the treated area until it’s dried. It does take a while to dry – up to 48 hours. However, as horsetail roots creep throughout the ground and are difficult to spot when working soil (mainly due to their brown colour), they usually spread much further than most people realise. Digging the roots up before the plant develops isn’t possible either, as the root systems go to depths of 1.5m – nobody is digging this deep in their garden to remove horsetail! Whilst Neudorff might not be a particularly well-known company, their WeedFree Plus Concentrate is a powerful weed killer that works on relatively stubborn weeds. Finally, look out for a weed killer that comes with a pressure sprayer to make application easier . Some weed killers will need diluting which can be time consuming; however, they often work out cheaper.

Alternatively, residual weed killers will stop all plants from germinating, and non-selective weed killers will kill everything they encounter . Therefore, these are best used on patios or highly weed-ridden areas. 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.On the plus side, the fact that this product isn’t left in the ground means that the treated areas can be sown or planted again relatively soon after using the product. If you’re not sure whether you want to use a commercial weed killer, try these simple, eco-safe remedies: It seems to work best in hot, dry weather, and certainly shouldn’t be applied when rain is forecast for the same day; the longer the weed killer stays on the weeds, the more effective it will be.
