Think Ahead for the Perfect Weed Free Garden
Whilst putting the garden to bed for the winter, cutting back
perennials and mowing the lawn for the last time, applying a weed
killer now can help control persistent weeds with deep roots,
saving you a bigger job next year.
To prevent the likely hood of woody weeds, such as brambles
returning, it is best practice to cut back the weed before spraying
it with a weed killer and then reapplying the product again as they
re-shoot prior to winter. Ideal for this is Roundup XL Tough & Deep Root Ready to Use,
which is available in a new easy to use 1-litre sprayer and will
control most perennial, tough, deep-rooted weeds such as brambles, nettles,
thistles and couch. 
Along with other unwanted vegetation around the garden, tree
saplings and stumps that re-grow can be a problem. Roundup Tree Stump & Root Killer, available in a
250ml-dispensing bottle, can be applied with a brush to the exposed
stump or to notches in the bark - working its way down to the roots
so it won’t grow back. It can also be used on the trunk of
well-established ivy plants during the dormant period between
October and March.
In addition, a 20% solution of Roundup Tree Stump & Root Killer can be poured into
the hollow stem of Japanese Knotweed if
treating after mid August.
Roundup is available from all good garden product retailers. For

Japanese Knotweed Tightens Grip on UK Mortgages
Renowned for its invasive nature, Japanese Knotweed is
now sabotaging mortgage applications, with an increasing number of
lenders refusing applications if its identified on a property
survey.
Although
hardwearing and tricky to remove, Japanese Knotweed can be treated
using Roundup Tree Stump & Root Killer. Simply, cut back the
stems to a height of 200mm and 40mm above a node. Rupture the
central tissue with a screwdriver and apply 10ml of a 20% solution
of treatment into the hollow stem.
Roundup Tree Stump & Root Killer features an easy to use,
non-drip, dispensing bottle, which ensures correct measurements
every time, whilst its systemic action takes the formula right down
to the weeds growing points, and put simply, kills the Japanese
Knotweed from the inside out.
