Product Information

Combination of hose, spray nozzle and jet mean it's not necessary to bend or stoop to apply product Ease of Application: When reviewing ease of application, we deemed any weed killer that came ready-mixed better for the average gardener, as less time will be spent preparing the solution. We also looked for products that came with different attachments – such as a nozzle and hose – to make application easier. Models with additional features, such as a built-in pressure pump and adjustable nozzle settings, were rated highest, as these elements made the product easier to use. One downside of this weed killer is that it makes the soil unusable for a period of time. This is fairly disappointing if you’re wanting to get planting. The instructions state that it takes a ‘growing season’ to wear off, meaning potentially an entire spring or summer! If you’re after a way to get rid of a lot of weeds on your lawn, without damaging the grass, Weedol Weed Killer is one of the best safe-for-lawn weed killers.

Spraying during windy conditions can also cause the chemicals to spread to areas that you did not intend to treat, killing plants that you wanted to save. 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. The ingredients dictate what type of weed killer it is, and often a combination of ingredients are used. Treated areas can be replanted 7 days after application which isn’t bad going for a weedkiller with glyphosate as its main ingredient. However, glyphosate poisons pollinators, so please do at least snap off any flowering heads before applying the weedkiller.

One disadvantage of using this weed killer is that you have to be careful with disposing of your grass clippings. Because of the chemicals used, grass clippings should not be disposed of in the standard council-collected green waste. If you choose to compost them , they need to be composted for at least 9 months before being suitable to use as mulch on the garden. Be careful using weed killers around food plants. Many of them are unsafe for use around crops. There are some which are considered to be ok, but you should always do your own research on specific products and read the label carefully. Whilst there are a lot of ingredients that can go into weed killers, some are used more commonly than others. Each pump sprays just a small amount of weed killer, so you need to work quite hard to cover a large area

Glyphosate – kills the majority of plants, including perennial grasses, so it’s not one that you want to accidentally get on the lawn or flowerbed. It is effective at killing well-established weeds because it works from inside the weed itself. After being absorbed by the leaves and stalk of the weed, glyphosate spreads to the rest of the plant, including the roots. In recent years, it’s developed a reputation for being dangerous; however the jury is out on a definitive conclusion. Some studies have found it to be carcinogenic, whilst others consider it safe for humans to use as long as the instructions are followed. Glyphosate is also thought to negatively affect wildlife such as bees and aquatic life. It can stay in the soil for a long time as well. Regularly hoe any loose soil to combat small weeds. This can be both a preventative and offensive measure; it discourages weeds from taking root as well as disrupting the growth of new weeds.
