About this deal

In terms of protecting wildlife the consensus is pretty similar. Mammals and birds are pretty much ok – the levels of Glyphosate won’t get high enough to cause problems but for some wildlife it is a problem: As a result of that being a pump sprayer, I think it’s only fair to use a pump garden sprayer for the Gallup and Weedol too – this is in my extensive experience of using weed killer, is the most effective anyway.

I came to this conclusion because the Gallup concentrate is 360g of Glyphosate per litre, that means of the 36ml we’ve got about 12 grams of actual Glyphosate. Since Roundup is already diluted to 7.2g of Glyphosate per litre that gives just under 11g of Glyphosate in 1.5 Litres. So let’s say that’s going to be 60m2 per weed killer. I’ve added 36ml of Gallup to 1.5 litres. Following the manufacturer recommended for concentration. Measuring out Gallup concentrate in our test Approved for use all around the garden, on gravel areas, paths, drives and along fences. ROUNDUP® Fast Action Ready to Use Weedkiller can be used to clean up weedy areas before planting vegetables, flowers, shrubs and to renovate overgrown areas. Cautions Its pressure-driven so requires some pumping to build up enough head of pressure. Without enough pumping, it tends to dribble a little, so I’d recommend protective gloves and shoes without holes (not crocs – why are you looking at me?!) to make sure it doesn’t touch your skin.

Even your lawn can be irreversibly damaged by using the wrong kind of weed killer on it, so it’s important to do your homework before buying and applying any product. There are weed killers that are designed to be used on lawns, just as there are ones designed for patios, paths, and other areas and surfaces, so be sure to buy the right one for your needs. Based on price, ability to kill weeds, least staining and residue, safety for kids and pets, ease of application, reliability, and customer support, I make my choice looking for the best overall score. What we like about this weed killer is that it uses a unique dual-action formulation. In addition to 125g/l glyphosate, the solution contains 20 g/l diflufenican, a broad-leaved weed herbicide that has been used in Europe for years.

These weed killers are also lethal to bees – it peturbs their gut. For that reason using weed killer in Winter has its merits if you can find a dry spell. The bees won’t be about to be harmed. I am quite serious about preventing bee population decline and written on the matter extensively. For this reason, where possible, I would ask you to consider a weed burner or if generaly weeding, a weed puller or a hoe first. Ideal time to apply weed killer Here’s a look at the video of these tests – the results video is part 2 so if you don’t want to waste time head straight to that, or if you don’t like videos – keep reading. I don’t think you need a video (not mine anyway they aren’t great) 😀 for this one but it was useful to remind me of the write up:

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. It’s heavy but well balanced and the sprayer fires the weedkiller 1.2 metres on fine or jet spray so it doesn’t get all over your hands, feet or other plants you don’t want to kill.

Its real strength, though, is that it can control weeds that other weed killers tend to struggle with, including horsetail/mare’s tail and ground elder, as it did on an overgrown bank and a disused veg bed where other weed killers had failed miserably. It’s a good bet if you need a powerful weed killer but you don’t want to spray something really nasty on your plot. Weed killers are products that are used by gardeners and farmers to get rid of, and control the growth and spread of, unwanted plants, better known as 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 What better way to test the best and strongest weed killers in the UK by literally lining them up against each other, applying them on the same weeds, (in rows) following the manufacturer guidelines in terms of how much weed killer should be used. We want to work out value too since I know all these work well. Here’s the tests I did: So as you can see, despite being half the price or less of the brand names in terms of how my Glyphosate you get, it’s easily as effective and in my opinion, probably more so, after all, Glyphosate is the main active herbicide. This will eventually end up double the price with a fancy brand attached. Fortunately for now though, we can grab a bargain. When I am looking for the strongest weed killer domestically, I go straight to this product.Residual weed killers: These weed killers target the soil and kill weeds as they’re absorbed through the roots. They’re effective and long-lasting, but their awesome power comes at a price, hanging around in your garden and affecting the soil quality and future plant growth. It took me ages to nail the best weed killer available in the UK – I have been through weeks of testing now. With the different active compounds, most commonly glyphosate and sometimes mixed with pyraflufen-ethyl, it’s hard to actually know which is the strongest weed killer, or the best one for your specific needs (driveway, flower beds, lawn, overgrown areas, bramble and thistle, etc) so I tested the best weed killer for each one 🙂 What I found was, there are many different types of weed killer and what you should know before buying weed killer. So how do we really get to the bottom of which is the best and strongest weed killer? We test them harshly 😀 Here’s a look at the weed killers we’ve put to the test: Best weed killers in the test- Gallup, Weedol, Roundup The Roundup weedkiller is a ready-to-use liquid solution that contains 7.2g/l glyphosate and provides visible results within 48 hours. 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. Safety The same rules apply in terms of application – make sure you don’t let any get into water (ponds specifically) and do wear your respiratory equipment, especially if you’re using a garden sprayer.
