The Roundup Guide to Weeding

weeding present participle of weed (Verb)

1. Remove unwanted plants from (an area of ground or the plants cultivated in it).
2. Remove something, esp. inferior or unwanted items or members from a group or collection.
3. An unfortunate but necessary job which all gardeners have to undertake that seems never ending.

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.
