Product Information

The oldest weed killer. People have been using salt to kill weeds for centuries. It's also useful for combating other garden pests. Enemy combatants would salt each others land to prevent crops from growing leading to starvation. Roundup stays active in the soil for up to 3 months. This means that you should wait at least 3 months after using Roundup before planting grass seeds. So, if you want to plant grass seeds, you need to wait until after you’ve applied weed killer. What happens if I use too much grass seed? It works well, successfully killing off tough perennial weeds like dandelions, and clearing larger weeded areas too, although the claims of ‘24-hour effectiveness’ are somewhat optimistic. If you’re dealing with lots of weeds coming up in unwanted places, you might decide to use a herbicide that has been designed to stop weeds from sprouting and to kill young seeds before they really have the chance to germinate.

D is a selective weed killer, it won't kill grass and is commonly applied to lawns for long lasting control of weeds in turf. 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. 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. It's not toxic to humans. There is some debate about this, long term exposure may cause harm but it is widely approved for use. Please always read the label when using herbicides.Roundup is a popular herbicide that is often used to kill weeds in gardens and lawns.

This is a traditional treatment for mossy lawns and was one of the best products in this trial. The quality and colour of the grass was improved after the first application, and after a couple of treatments the moss was fully under control and significantly reduced across the lawn. May affect edible plants. The tiny amount of debris on the soil surface does not damage new plants if it is applied correctly and carefully. However, you don’t want such residues to be eaten by plants you intend to eat, so I’d wait a few days before planting herbs and vegetables;

Don’t leave bare soil. Weeds thrive in open spaces in the soil. Plant vegetables, flowers and shrubs close together to minimise open areas where weeds can pop up. Here we will look at the ingredients of weed killers, based on what type of weed killer they’re most commonly used in. There are selective weed killers (only targeting certain plans), non-selective weed killers (not fussy about what plants they kill) and organic weed killers (using ingredients from nature). Broadleaf herbicides should not be sprayed onto newly seeded turf until it has been mowed at least twice which can first be done when the grass is three inches (8 cm) tall.
