On a mission to weed out the very best for our gardening arsenal, we embarked on a 10-day quest to take out a tricky patch of weeds that were nestled in with some heavily overwhelmed and partially buried flag stones in the corner of a northwest London garden. Some wild bluebells also sprouted in the wrong place at the wrong time only to become collateral casualties of the cause.
Not only does it boost the lawn with nitrogen and potassium, it also improves the general absorption of water and nutrients in the grass. In general, you should avoid using non-selective or residual weed killers anywhere except pathways and driveways, if you have to use them at all. As a fast-release formula it can be applied every 4 – 6 weeks, so the lawn can be topped up as required. The seaweed contains natural growth chemicals including auxins and cytokinins that improve plant development. It doesn’t contain anything specific to combat weeds, so if killing weeds alongside refreshing the lawn is a priority, this may not be the best lawn feed for that purpose.We also looked for products that came with different attachments – such as a nozzle and hose – to make application easier. In this weed killer review, I thoroughly compared speed of results, longevity and value for money for multiple products.
If the non-chemical methods above aren’t effective enough or suitable for your situation, you may choose to apply a lawn weedkiller. The company is using pelargonic acid instead of glyphosate so it is eco-friendlier and can handle the common pests like dandelions, dead nettle and knotgrass.Alternatively, for established grass, high-nitrogen lawn feed can promote a growth spurt if the lawn is struggling. One thing to be aware of: the granules do stay on the ground for several weeks after application without dissolving.
The effects were notable after just an hour but after 10 days there was some foliage making a comeback beneath the top layer of dead leaves and stems.Nitrogen is responsible for leaf growth, and potassium encourages plants to grow and function correctly. In general use it provides consistent, good results, thickening grass and filling in sparse patches. It comes as a concentrated liquid, so you need to dilute the weed killer before applying it to the garden. The instructions state that it takes a ‘growing season’ to wear off, meaning potentially an entire spring or summer!
We weren’t really sure what to make of it because the spray did kill the ivy leaves it hit from the same vine and it should be noted that this is a general weedkiller and ivy is the SAS commando of weeds. The leaves went yellow immediately and ten days later they weren’t just dead, they were brown mush down to the root. As a result, any product where the nozzle leaked was rated lower, as this risked harm to the gardener using it.You’ll need to get fairly close to the weeds to cover them, and those with weaker hands or reduced mobility may find they’re working harder than is comfortable for them. Make sure to refer to the manufacturer’s instructions to check what conditions your lawn feed should be applied in. As well as tough, woody weeds, SBK is also capable of getting rid of tree stumps; a diluted solution needs to be poured into drilled holes in the wood which turns the stump soft and mushy after about a month. Non-selective weed killers: These ultra-violent weed killers tend to be fast and effective, but they destroy just about anything they come into contact with, affecting both the plants and soil.
