As you have probably guessed, we added number three to the list
of definitions above for ‘weeding’ found in the dictionary, but
we’re sure you would have added it yourselves!
Weeds compete in, and often win, the battle with other plants
for the valuable nutrients and water in the soil. Not only that,
many of them have thorns, produce chemicals that sting or can be
poisonous if ingested. Weeding is the only way of effectively
targeting these unwanted pests that, if left unattended, can ruin
all the hard work you have put into your garden.
To support you in this never-ending weeding battle we have
produced the best range of weed killing products available on the
market today. There is a Roundup product for every weeding
eventuality that you may encounter, from liquid concentrates – designed to be applied to
weeds covering wide areas that require clearing completely for
re-seeding, to the more convenient ready-to-use sprayers such as
‘Pump ‘N Go’ – perfect for applying to
weeds in your borders and smaller patios.
Weeding needn’t be such a chore when you have Roundup in your
armoury, not only does Roundup target the plant above ground, it
penetrates deep into the roots of the weed destroying it so it will
never return. If you are weeding large areas of land you can also
replant immediately after the Roundup product had dried if you
wish, but we would recommend you leave a few days to allow the
product to take full effect.
So remember, whether you’re weeding your borders, patios,
driveways or paths, Roundup has just the right weed killing
product.
When can my children/pets use an area where Roundup has been
applied?
The moment Roundup has dried. It deactivates on contact with
soil, and is degraded by micro organisms leaving no residues in the
soil.
Why has Roundup killed my lawn?
Roundup should never be used on lawns. Because it kills all
plants with green leaf tissue, Roundup is actually a very effective
grass killer.
When can I replant/reseed after treatment?
Immediately, if you want to. We recommend, however, leaving the
weeds at least 7 to 10 days to absorb the optimum amount of
Roundup.
