The person working there was actually very knowledgeable, and he smiled when I told him this before asking me if I’d watered the weeds a little before spraying. Of course, I told him that I hadn’t as I wanted the things dead, not growing and thriving!

We’ve aimed for dry on the ground, and a dry full day from the point of spraying. Anything less than that and I would have gone at it again. We wanted a genuine understanding of what these weed killers can actually do after all. SafetyYou can get weed killers that will stop weeds before they come. These aren’t the best if you are thinking of vegetables or flower beds as you’ll want to use the space at some point in the near future. I really don’t like this method myself – laying weed killer in the ground for the future is a dangerous game so not included in this review. The Gallup Home & Garden Glyphosate Weedkiller comes with gloves and a 60ml measuring cup. The dilution ratio is 30ml of concentrate per 1 litre of water, but always read the instructions on the label. Pressure washing of hard surfaces gets rid of small weeds and moss, as well as clearing residues of soil and organic matter that would provide seed beds for weeds Best weed killer tested and proven: Gallup best of the best ( scientifically proven with the highest level of glyphosate – 360g/litre for home use) What you’ve got here is a manufacturer of commercial strength weed killer bringing the product to home gardeners at a bargain price. I’d call this a pet friendly weed killer too. Glyphosate is generally pet and child friendly once dried but please read my description and the manufacturer label to understand safety better – it must be DRY. It also was the only weed killer that killed a shrub in my tests

Weeds should be actively growing with grasses having at least 5cm of leaf and broadleaved weeds having at least 2 leaves expanded when sprayed. So I measured out the land area equally and spread the weed killer – what I noticed was I had reached the end and had plenty left over – so I gave the area another blast – I walked over a treated area which is the wrong thing to do – naturally I cleaned my wellies straight after!

5. Use a Vodka Solution

Best lawn weed killer: Resolva Lawn Weed Killer best for spot application. You could also consider a lawn weed and feed If you’d rather not use weedkillers that contain glyphosate, then turn to more natural products such as the Golden Swan White Vinegar. For me, this is a great alternative to Weedkil Garden Weedkiller, you are basically making your own with very similar ingredients. As good general practice the wearing of gloves is recommended when using this product although this is not a requirement When you use your watering can or sprayer, ensure you thoroughly clean out afterwards. It’s also advisable to not put remainder down the drain so only mix what you need. The concentration of this vinegar is 5% so it’s not harmful to your skin but I recommend wearing gloves.
