Resolva 24H Ready To Use Weed Killer, 1 Litre 20300465

Product Information

Like most weed killers I’ve tested, this product does contain glyphosate which isn’t wildlife friendly. Flower heads should be cut off weeds first, especially dandelions. This is a general purpose weed killer that can handle a wide range of common, broad leaved garden weeds after a couple of applications. There are some hard to shift weeds that you might have problems with, but that is the same with any natural weed killer and is just something that you have to accept until someone brings out an all-natural wonder product. Glyphosate – kills the majority of plants, including perennial grasses, so it’s not one that you want to accidentally get on the lawn or flowerbed. It is effective at killing well-established weeds because it works from inside the weed itself. After being absorbed by the leaves and stalk of the weed, glyphosate spreads to the rest of the plant, including the roots. In recent years, it’s developed a reputation for being dangerous; however the jury is out on a definitive conclusion. Some studies have found it to be carcinogenic, whilst others consider it safe for humans to use as long as the instructions are followed. Glyphosate is also thought to negatively affect wildlife such as bees and aquatic life. It can stay in the soil for a long time as well. Whilst not all products can successfully get rid of pervasive weeds like horsetail, this WeedFree Plus weed killer causes it to turn brown in a couple of days. Other, more common weeds, can show signs of wilting within a couple of hours.

Use on a calm day when weeds are actively growing and have a large leaf area to absorb the weedkiller spray Annual and perennial weeds on paths and open areas with tree growth or woody and non-woody ornamentals As well as tough, woody weeds, SBK is also capable of getting rid of tree stumps; a diluted solution needs to be poured into drilled holes in the wood which turns the stump soft and mushy after about a month. Just because a brand says their weed killer is pet safe doesn’t mean it is organic, and it is often the case that they are not. A large number of weed killer products contain glyphosate and while this is thought to be harmless to pets once fully dried, there are still some questions about how much it affects the soil, and whether or not it is carcinogenic to humans, despite many companies’ claims to the contrary. One disadvantage of using this weed killer is that you have to be careful with disposing of your grass clippings. Because of the chemicals used, grass clippings should not be disposed of in the standard council-collected green waste. If you choose to compost them , they need to be composted for at least 9 months before being suitable to use as mulch on the garden.

However, organic ingredients are generally considered less damaging for the environment and wildlife.
