Product Information

There are a couple of reasons why this pump spray weed killer speeds up the process of getting rid of pesky weeds, and it comes down to both its effectiveness, and its straight-forward application style. Although it doesn’t kill lawns, we do not recommend using this on newly-turfed lawns. Lastly, this weed killer is available at a good price and it comes in 125ml, 250ml, 500ml bottles and 1 litre bottles of concentrate. Pros We have to mention here our only choice that won’t harm your grass, but kills pretty much anything else. The Vitax SBK Brushwood Tough Weedkiller is safe to use on your grass yet it’s powerful enough to clear large areas of brushwood. A slightly more targeted method is using a watering can and applying the diluted mix straight to the leaves of the weeds you want gone. Again though you can end up getting your weed killer on plants you don’t want to kill. Safety and Environmental Impact: It was important to assess the overall environmental impact of each weed killer as well as the risk to the user’s safety. As a result, any product where the nozzle leaked was rated lower, as this risked harm to the gardener using it. Products with excessively harmful chemicals, such as Glyphosate, were marked down, as these pose a risk to wildlife.

One thing to note about this weed killer is that it doesn’t work especially fast. To kill the roots, it needs around 3-4 weeks. While the weeds do start to wilt within a few hours, it takes 7 days before I actually felt the weed killer was working! Despite the slower results, it does work as well as others on the market, and it’s very easy to use. But if applied to areas with dense cover including perennial weeds, then allow about seven days for the systematic action to reach deep into the roots before digging or cultivating. Commercial-grade weed killers based on triclopyr are selective, meaning they kill almost everything except grass. One of these products, the Vitax SBK Weedkiller, is included for those home gardeners whose otherwise lush and magazine-worthy lawns are plagued by weeds. Application Resolva Xtra Tough Concentrate Weed Killer comes in a variety of sizes. The 1 litre bottle size we reviewed is ergonomically designed with finger grips on one side to ensure you have a firm grasp and don’t drop it. This weed killer is affordable and also available in a 200ml bottle or 6 x 100ml sachets . As with most liquids, the larger bottles offer better value for money. Pros

For your own protection, always wear protective gloves, masks, and goggles. Also, make sure no spray gets into your garden pond or any adjacent stream or river. It has the potential to infect them, as well as the fish and aquatic plants that live there. Finally, look out for a weed killer that comes with a pressure sprayer to make application easier . Some weed killers will need diluting which can be time consuming; however, they often work out cheaper. Whilst Resolva Weed Killer is powerful, it often takes several days to see results. Weeds are more likely to die after 4 – 7 days than 24 hours. However, after a week, once they’re dead, they’re generally dry enough to simply pull out of the ground. Pumping the handle creates pressure in the container, and when the button on the wand is pressed, the weed killer travels through the hose and out of the nozzle. The output can be adjusted, producing either a spray or a fine jet. Forks, trowels and hoes are good to have in the armoury against stubborn weeds. But sometimes you need something more. An effective weed killer can help truly eliminate weeds, keeping your garden looking pristine. 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.

The best time to apply Vitax to hardwood saplings and tough weeds is from around May to October when the soil is moist. Woody weeds respond best to treatment from June to August, whilst tree stumps respond well between autumn and winter when the sap is retreating downwards. 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.

Conclusion

Like many off-the-shelf weed killers, it contains glyphosate. While this is strong enough to kill weeds, it’s also strong enough to harm pollinators and pond life.

If your weed problem is bigger than just dandelions and clovers, this Vitax SBK Brushwood Tough Weed Killer is a bit more heavy duty.

It will only target and kill specific types of plans (eg. weeds). Selective weed killer is normally clearly sold as being lawn safe.

This means that the liquid enters the leaves of the plant and works its way down through the plant’s entire internal system, all the way down to the roots. The glyphosate is the poison, and it kills every part of the plant from the inside, from the leaves down to the tips of the root.

Tougher, deep-rooted weeds like brambles, thistles, and nettles respond well to Roundup Super Concentrate Tough Weedkiller. Most other weed killers are incapable of dealing with this level of growth. This means that Roundup Super Concentrate can be used on both tree stumps and woody bushes. Stopping Protein Production. Protein production is another essential element of plant growth and health. Some weed killers stop plants from being able to produce proteins. Ultimately this will kill weeds.
