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.

Products with excessively harmful chemicals, such as Glyphosate, were marked down, as these pose a risk to wildlife. SBK Tree Stump Killer is a soluble concentrate which should be used on tree stumps during the autumn and winter and not between April and June when sap is rising in the tree stumps. Weed Killer is a solution but its now the best solution, believe it or not the best solution is in the prevention of weeds, and how not to allow them to establish themselves in first place. Residual weed killers: These weed killers target the soil and kill weeds as they’re absorbed through the roots. They’re effective and long-lasting, but their awesome power comes at a price, hanging around in your garden and affecting the soil quality and future plant growth. Whilst there are a lot of ingredients that can go into weed killers, some are used more commonly than others.

There are two species of horsetail/marestail, field (Equisetum arvense) and giant horsetail (E. telmateia), whose tendency to take over patches of ground with their impenetrable stems presents a real challenge to gardeners. Horsetails are very deep-rooted, with wiry rhizomes that penetrate to two metres or more and can regenerate from deep down to form new plants. They can persist for years, even if the top growth is suppressed. Why is horsetail a problem weed? Avoid using weed killers on windy days as this will help minimise the effect of wind drift of the spray . When used as a spray over larger areas of weeds, the Roundup Tree Stump Root Killer can take its time to work, and require several applications. However, it will eventually cause browning and result in the plant dying.Some people also choose to use homemade natural weed killers, using a solution of white vinegar, salt and liquid dish soap.

Stump and root killers currently on the market are those containing glyphosate (e.g. Roundup Stump Killer,Doff Tree Stump & Tough Weedkiller and Westland Resolva ProTree Stump killer) or triclopyr (Vitax SBK Brushwood Killer).

It seems to work best when holes are drilled into the stump, and the liquid is applied directly into the hole. Although the sachets are easy to use in that the product can be dispensed straight away, it can be difficult to control and pour the liquid accurately. This weed killer is very effective, destroying weeds at the roots within 2 weeks.

Additionally, these weed killers are poisonous to bees as well; they perturb their guts. For this reason, the use of weed killer in the Winter has its advantages, if you can find a period of dry weather as there are very few bees around. Consider a weed burner, a weed puller, or a hoe first before actually using a weed killer in your garden during spring and summer months first.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you. his huge range of uses makes it a super versatile product and a solid investment, as you can eradicate all of the nasty vegetation in your garden, with just one product.
