This makes it one of the best selective weed killers, making it possible to carry out targeted weed killing on the lawn! Whether you need to clear an overgrown area, tackle tough and deep-rooted weeds or banish tree stumps forever, Roundup has the expert solution.Apply once grasses and broad-leaved weeds have emerged and are actively growing (normally March to October). Five litres will cover a generous 150m² area, and refills are available to purchase online if you’ve got a particularly large garden. Some studies have found it to be carcinogenic, whilst others consider it safe for humans to use as long as the instructions are followed. It will only work on the green parts of plants, and can therefore be used around trees and under hedges etc.

Plus, they’re not only useful in the battle against common weeds; certain weed killers can get rid of brambles, nettles and thistles as well. Overall, Roundup is a well-known name in the world of weed killers, and under certain conditions it can completely clear large patches of heavy-duty weeds. 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. Contact weed killers: These powerful herbicides destroy plant life, killing any part they touch or – in some cases – the whole plant as they’re absorbed.Prioritise weed killers that kill the entire plant, including the roots, to prevent the weed from re-sprouting . 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. Although some thought is still required whilst making up the diluted formula, it’s easier than a classic free-pour dispenser. Extreme care should be taken to avoid spray drift as this can severely damage neighbouring crops or plants. It’s a good bet if you need a powerful weed killer but you don’t want to spray something really nasty on your plot.
