About this deal

Glyphosate is systemic, will kill grass and pretty much every other plant it touches. Used to kill annuals, perennials, woody perennials and tree stumps - it is effective against ALL weeds. Re-turfor re-seedbare patchesin spring or autumn,so weeds have less opportunity to get a foot-hold in your lawn Did you know that most of the effective ones work by messing with the plant's photosynthesis process? Yup, it's true! When you apply a weed killer, it gets absorbed by the plant and acts like a poison, slowly but surely killing it off. Alternatively, residual weed killers will stop all plants from germinating, and non-selective weed killers will kill everything they encounter . Therefore, these are best used on patios or highly weed-ridden areas.

Whilst Resolva Weed Killer is powerful, it often takes several days to see results. Weeds are more likely to die after 4 – 7 days than 24 hours. However, after a week, once they’re dead, they’re generally dry enough to simply pull out of the ground. Water-diluted salt will do a good job on its own with weeds if you don’t have vinegar around. Start with a ratio of 3 parts water to 1 part salt — table salt will do — mixing until combined. Apply this carefully to the weed-prone area.Remove seedheads– if you don’t mind some weeds/wildflowers in your lawn, but don’t want to get over-run with vigorousself-seeders such as dandelions, then deadhead them if your lawn is small or mowregularly, so they don’t get the chance to produce seeds

Note: Always read the labelling on your weed and feed for information on how long you should wait to plant grass seed post-application. The types of herbicides infused into the product usually determines the manufacturers’ wait time recommendations. How long after seeding can you spray for weeds? If the weeds recur past the 6-8-week mark, you may consider using a selective herbicide to spot-spray your weeds. Some weed killers, such as glyphosate (Roundup), kill more than just weeds, so it's essential not to apply these. This is because they can kill your grass if not done correctly. Shop-bought selective weed killers will recommend when to apply their product and how often - you should read the instructions thoroughly before use. In short, here's what you should do if you encounter weeds in your newly seeded lawn: Most selective herbicides contain such active components as Clethodim, Bentazon, Sethoxydim. How and when to reseed after using a pre-emergent weed product?The best weed killer will show visible results within 1 – 2 days. My advice is to look for a large capacity that will treat a surface area of at least 100 m² as these will generally offer the best value for money. Prioritise weed killers that kill the entire plant, including the roots, to prevent the weed from re-sprouting . Regular lawn care – feeding, aerating and scarifying your lawn will encourage the grass to be more vigorous, so it’s more difficult for weeds to get established in the first place. See our lawn-care advice for full details

The weed killer is straight forward to apply, and there’s a built-in pump pressure sprayer which helps spread the liquid. When sufficiently pumped, the pressure sprayer bottle projects the weed killer to around 120 cm, keeping the product away from your hands. Almost all powerful weed killers should be applied to the foliage (leaves) of the plants your trying to kill, a common misconception is to apply it to the "roots" - this is a waste, coat all the green parts in weed killer and be PATIENT!

Using Weed Killer before Sowing Seed

Remove dead roots and grass from the lawn with a rake. The pre-emergent is introduced in the spring until temperatures exceed 50 degrees Fahrenheit to kill weeds before they grow. To ensure that the pesticide has had little impact, wait at least 6-8 weeks before planting seeds; Whilst Neudorff might not be a particularly well-known company, their WeedFree Plus Concentrate is a powerful weed killer that works on relatively stubborn weeds.
