 Roundup Weedkiller: weed killing tips for August

August

  • Ideal time for the most efficient killing of nasty, large, perennial weeds (nettles, blackberries, bindweed…).They need a high dose of Roundup GC Concentrate, via spray or wiping on the leaf surface. Allow ample time to the product to work - while you plan what to use that extra space for.
  • Keep established perennials watered through the dry season to keep them blooming
  • Continue trimming privet and beech hedges
  • Dead head and feed containers and baskets to produce more flowers
  • Trim lavender after the flowers have faded
  • Check all plants regularly for pests and diseases
  • Ensure birds and other wildlife have water and keep ponds topped up
  • Harvest fruit when ripe
  • Complete summer pruning of wisteria
 

When can my children/pets return to the treated area?

When Roundup has been absorbed by the leaf, the residue will dry. When the residue has dried, children and pets can be allowed back onto the treated areas.

Can Roundup kill Japanese Knotweed?

Yes, but you will need to use Roundup Tree Stump & Root Killer. It may take several applications – please read the label for further advice.

When can I replant/reseed after use?

Roundup is only active in plants and is inactivated on contact with the soil. It is then broken down by soil micro organisms so that you can re-use the soil for re-planting. We recommend that you leave treated weeds for about 7 days before digging or cultivating the soil to allow Roundup to move to the roots of the weed.
