Get Tough on Weeds

1.Keep paths and patios clean

Gravel paths and drives are often subject to grass and weed attack. But you can keep these areas weed-free with just one application of Pathclear Season Long, applied when the weeds are beginning to appear. Choose a dry day when rain is not expected in April when weeds are small and actively growing. This magical weedkiller not only kills the weeds that are present but it also prevents new weeds from germinating for up to 3 months and under ideal condition may be controlled for up to 6 months.

2. Control weeds between plants

Weeds between shrubs, perennials, vegetables and fruit are an unsightly nuisance. But they can be controlled quickly and easily with either Weedol 2 or the ready-to-use Weedol 2 Gun!

These products can be used around all plants without harming the soil - in fact seeds or plants can be sown once the liquid has dried. And they are also rainproof in 10 minutes so light showers won’t affect it working. Just spray the weeds you want dead and watch them wilt and die in just a few days. Just remember to keep the liquid off wanted plants - it will kill your precious bedding plants just as easily as grasses and annual weeds such as groundsel, chickweed, annual meadowgrass and dead nettle.

3. Control weeds on the lawn

You need a selective weedkiller that kills the weeds without harming the grass. Verdone Extra Ready to Use kills weeds, not lawns! Just point and spray the weeds and they will gradually curl up and die. One treatment gives season-long control of even difficult weeds, including common mouse-ear, black meddick and lesser trefoil. For best results we recommend you treat the weeds between mowings. Wait 4 days after mowing so there is good leaf are to absorb the weedkiller and wait another 4 days after treatment so the weedkiller is totally absorbed down to the roots.

4. Kill the tough weeds

Deep rooted weeds such as ground elder, bindweed and couch grass are a big problem that any amount of digging just won’t shift completely. That’s when you need the power of Roundup to kill the weed and kill the root. Because Roundup is systemic it needs to have a few hours on the leaf so that the glyphosate weedkiller can be completely absorbed. It is best to choose a warm dry day when no rain is expected. Spray the leaves of the weeds thoroughly on a day that is not windy as drifts on to the foliage of your wanted shrubs and trees could be fatal. Leave the weeds undisturbed for at least a fortnight so the weedkiller has time to move to the end of the root system. After this time it’s safe to clear away the top growth and tidy up the area.

Always read the label. Use pesticides safely. Pathclear® Season Long and Pathclear Gun!™ Season-Long contain glyphosate, oxidiazon and diflufenican. Verdone® Extra and Verdone® Extra RTU contain floroxypyr, clopyralid and MCPA. The Roundup family of weedkillers contain glyphosate. Weedol® 2 and Weedol 2 Gun!™ contain diquat.
