Weedol 015001 Fast Acting Weedkiller, 1 Litre Spray Gun, Multicolored

Product Information

You can simply dispense a sachet of product into a watering can, add water and then apply to the weeds you are wanting to treat. For this reason, this weed killer is best used on driveways and patios, as opposed to within flower beds. It’s also not a residual weed killer which is good news – it becomes inactive on contact with soil and is broken down by micro organisms in the soil to allow for replanting.

The target area was less “hit by lightning” dead like some other products, and more “salad you’ve left in the fridge too long” wilted. One disadvantage of using this weed killer is that you have to be careful with disposing of your grass clippings.It needs to be applied with care to make sure they don’t get on any grass or prized plants by accident. And despite the enhanced strength of this weed killer, it won’t kill grass, meaning you can rid your garden of heavy weed threats without endangering your lawn.

The Job Done did what it said on the bottle – it got the job done pretty rapidly with a cocktail of 1. It’s also one of the best products in terms of value for money, coming in a liquid concentrate that can be diluted to cover up to 667 m². This product requires diluting, so a lot of care needs to be taken not to get the product on your skin. For best results, use a brushcutter to cut reduce the overgrown plants back to their stumps before using this weed killer. A controlled release of nitrogen means your lawn will still benefit up to six weeks after the initial treatment.

This can be both a preventative and offensive measure; it discourages weeds from taking root as well as disrupting the growth of new weeds. However, after a week, once they’re dead, they’re generally dry enough to simply pull out of the ground. The Weedol was also in a more paved and dandelion-heavy area with low lighting and did better than expected. Fertilising can help grass build a healthy root system which can choke out weeds, whilst improving the condition and look of your lawn at the same time. Spray it on most weeds and grasses and they will be curling up and looking sickly within the first day, as it goes to work on the foliage before busting up the roots.

Because of the chemicals used, grass clippings should not be disposed of in the standard council-collected green waste. It will only work on the green parts of plants, and can therefore be used around trees and under hedges etc. We marked down any weed killers that took 7 days to show the first signs of success, and those that took even longer received the lowest rating. The only negative when it comes to application is that it takes a few pumps to get a decent amount of weed killer out.It’s best used in dry spells, so that rain can’t wash it away before it’s had a chance to work, and should be used with care around wildlife, pets and children due to its Glyphosate content. 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.
