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!As mentioned above, these herbicides only kill particular plants. Lawn weed killers are good examples. These target broad-leaved plants (such as dandelions, daisies and buttercups) whilst having no effect on narrow-leaved plants (grass). Another example is weed killers used in forestry, which kills the grass without harming young saplings. Non-selective weedkillers Super-concentrated weed killer containing a high concentration of glyphosate at 360g/l of glyphosate. Even though some weedkillers containing glyphosate are safe for pets, it’s dried. Some people don’t want to use any weedkillers that contain glyphosate. Now, one option I often use is Golden Swan White Vinegar mixed with salt and a little washing-up liquid which I talked about in my pet safe weedkiller guide. However, to simplify things, I have also used this WeedKil Fast Acting Weed Killer, which is very effective because it’s a natural and organic weed killer. It doesn’t contain glyphosate so it’s safe around pets, wildlife and children once it’s dry, which takes about 20 minutes.

It 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. Can be used mixed with water for the more common weeds or undiluted those stubborn and harder to kill weeds.The Roundup Ultra Weedkiller Concentrate Bottle is perfect for various weed killing tasks around the garden and it is quite effective, especially for those areas you have tried to treat and failed with other weedkillers.

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.WeedKil Fast Acting Weed Killer 5L– I use this for customers who don’t like to use chemicals, very effective and ready to use.
