HOME & GARDEN WEED CONTROL HERBICIDE 2L | INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH GLYPHOSATE KILLER FOR EFFECTIVE OF ANNUAL PERENNIAL GRASS BROAD LEAVED WEEDS

Having an allotment I was always having a battle with weeds. The main one was bindweed and has everyone who knows just leaving a tiny bit of this weed in the soil, you get it growing all over again. For 3 years I dug out deep down and aways missed some . I didn't want to use weed killer but I was losing the battle every year. I did buy the usual brands which I saw results the bindweed died from the leaves down, but still ever year it all came back. As I was digging one day I noticed the reason why? It never got down to all the root so it started growing again. I think the main brands know this and want you to keep buying there products. I bought this and within one use all the bindweed was gone. It works differently. It kills from the root upwards. You will not see results for to weeks but be patient it is doing the job. You will get top weeds growing after use eventually so use it twice a year early spring and lat autumn. A bottle goes along way 25ml to one letre will do 40 square yards. It's really safe to use as soon as it's dry on the leaves it travels down the root and doesn't affect the soil.

I use this on weeds on a path and patio and the results are always impressive.

We’ve got a real problem with mare’s tail in our front garden, so I bought this hoping it would finally get it under control. Unfortunately, mare’s tail seems almost impossible to get rid of completely. This does kill off the visible stems quite effectively, but it keeps coming back and doesn’t appear to tackle the roots properly. I’ve tried it at different concentrations and the stronger mixes definitely work better, although you do get through the product much faster that way. It’s easy to mix and apply, and I’ve been using it with a handheld pump sprayer without any issues. The bottles arrived very well packaged, which is reassuring with chemicals like this, and you do get a decent amount for the money. If it managed to kill mare’s tail at the root, this would easily be a five-star product for me.

This is professional strength 360g/L glyphosate. Dilute 25ml to a litre (i.e. 1 in 40) for pump up garden or backpack sprayer. It is made by Barclay and sold by Agrigem, both respectable companies based in the British Isles. Check the seals on the container caps are intact on arrival and you should have the real thing. Dealing with some of the 1 and 2 star reviews: Glyphosate acts by being allowed to dry on the leaves of the plants and over a few days is absorbed (faster in good growing conditions and slower if cold or unsunny) and grasses and most broadleaved weeds will start to show signs of stress in 3-6 days and have died off completely in 10-14 days. Glyphosate will get into the roots of the plant and kill it completely- IT IS VERY EFFECTIVE AT THIS - although ivy and willowherb may take longer and may need a second dose. Woody plants and brambles mostly survive but it is best not to get it on the leaves, buds or even bark of woody plants you want to survive. Read the instructions which are accessed by peeling back (with a little difficulty) one of the labels on the bottle. Because glyphosate only enters the plant through the leaves and does not 'poison' the soil, further separate/new weeds can appear even while the original weeds are dying, so repeated applications may be needed from time to time, especially where new weed seeds blow in. I use glyphosate for (1) weeding gravel drive and paved patio (typically two or three times each Summer), (2) clearing grassy/weedy meadow areas for new cultivation such as vegetable growing and tree planting, and (3) keeping competing grass and weeds at bay around the stems of new tree plantings. There is no point in spraying areas where the weeds are not showing. Glyphosate is not 'persistent' or effective in the soil/ground. Glyphosate is not 'selective' as are some lawn weedkillers. Sometimes I find I have made up more diluted glyphosate than I actually use and generally find that it is still effective even after a couple of weeks sitting in the sprayer. Not a good practices as it may lose potency, could crystallise and block spray nozzle, might get used in accidental substitution for some other chemical. If this information is completely news to you, consider using instead a ready to spray version of glyphosate. Do not splash concentrated glyphosate around. This concentarted glyphosate is a serious agri-chemical which has been the subject of (contested) health claims by (mis-)users and for 40 years I have worn a hat, rubber gloves, safety specs and overalls when mixing and spraying - wash face, specs and gloves when finished. Wash out sprayer, nozzles etc and dowse outside of sprayer.

Great product - does the job on the weeds.

Brilliant product Spray low and keep away from anything thats doesnt want to be killed. I struggled to get rid of loads of weeds until I used this. Very powerful

Only use in calm weather

Powerful- don’t use near grass. Takes a couple of weeks to take full effect
