Story Title: Kill Them Weeds

Weeds are also a problem this time of year as they can sprout up in your pavers, garden beds and in your lawns. Weeds can be particularly persistent; always popping their heads up, but before you lose the plot trying to strangle them with your bare hands, The Garden Gurus will show you the right way to get rid of them once and for all! 

Featured Product: Yates Zero Glyphosate Ready To Use Weedspray
Non selective control of all grasses and broadleaf weeds.

Features

• Effective, economical and easy control of weeds and grasses in rockeries, garden beds, paths, driveways, along fencelines and lawn edges
• Perfect for clearing garden beds before planting and clearing areas prior to planting new lawns.
• Glyphosate travels from the foliage to the roots, and it kills weeds, roots and all.
• Non residual.
• Easy-to-use trigger pack – no mixing required, no mess.

How It Works

Absorbed by the foliage, the chemical is translocated down to the roots to destroy the weed, roots and all. First signs are a gradual yellowing and wilting of the plant. This advances to a complete browning of the entire weed and the death of the root.

Directions for use

Use when weeds are actively growing, give good cover to leaves and stems.

Effectiveness

Poor results may be due to: Weeds not actively growing; Poor leaf cover on weeds; Rainfall up to 6 hours after application; Weed seed germinating after application; Weeds disturbed before chemical can take effect.

Precautions

Corrosive to many metals. Do not allow spray to contact or drift onto plants you do not want killed. Hose off immediately if accidentally sprayed. DO NOT re-use containers for other purposes. DO NOT allow chemical containers or spray to get into drains, sewers, streams or ponds.
