About this deal

Alternatively, residual weed killers will stop all plants from germinating, and non-selective weed killers will kill everything they encounter . Therefore, these are best used on patios or highly weed-ridden areas. One of the best things about this weed killer is that it’s fairly simple to apply. There’s a ‘flexi spray’ that clips out of the body, with the pipe clipping to the lid. There’s two spray functions, a jet spray and a fine spray. You will need to touch the nozzle, so gloves are required. You might want to consider the various types of weed killer before settling on one. If you’re targeting weeds on your lawn, the best option will be a selective weed killer that won’t harm the grass, only the weeds.

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. Also, it offers quite good value for the price, with the 1 L bottle containing enough formula to cover up to 332 m² when diluted.Longevity: Any weed killers that needed to be reapplied after rain were significantly marked down, as this doubled the time you’d have to spend on weed killing. Weed killers that killed the entire plant, including the roots, were rated the best, as these are the only products that ensure long-lasting results. Glyphosate – kills the majority of plants, including perennial grasses, so it’s not one that you want to accidentally get on the lawn or flowerbed. It is effective at killing well-established weeds because it works from inside the weed itself. After being absorbed by the leaves and stalk of the weed, glyphosate spreads to the rest of the plant, including the roots. In recent years, it’s developed a reputation for being dangerous; however the jury is out on a definitive conclusion. Some studies have found it to be carcinogenic, whilst others consider it safe for humans to use as long as the instructions are followed. Glyphosate is also thought to negatively affect wildlife such as bees and aquatic life. It can stay in the soil for a long time as well. An alternative approach to using chemicals is hammering copper nails into the stump . This is worth considering as a first course of action if you’re against using chemicals. There is debate over how effective this method is, but it will at least damage some of the tree’s cells.

Avoid using weed killers on windy days as this will help minimise the effect of wind drift of the spray . For anyone keen to avoid using chemicals in their garden, these Solar Bay Co p per Tree Stump Killer Nails offer a viable alternative for getting rid of tree stumps. Flazasulfuron works on weeds when they first start growing, as well as when they are in their ‘adolescent’ stage. It’s absorbed by the roots and then works its way through the rest of the plant. Be careful using weed killers around food plants. Many of them are unsafe for use around crops. There are some which are considered to be ok, but you should always do your own research on specific products and read the label carefully. It may take a couple of months for Resolva to have a visible effect on tree stumps. It doesn’t cause them to rot, but stops new growth appearing. The stumps start to look drier and may change colour as well. Digging out the stump still required some effort as the wood isn’t softened.
