Best Weedkillers
Posted: April 28th, 2010 | Author: tejvan | Filed under: Weeds and Treatments | No Comments »Amicide (Ammonium Sulphamate) is an effective weedkiller, but, unfortunately no longer available commercially. It is particularly effective at killing strong weeds like horsetail.
You can sometimes find on ebay. People offer it as a compost accelerator with strict instructions not to use as a weedkiller.
Glyphosate
Glyphosate is the most commonly available weedkiller on the market. It is sold under brand names such as Round Up.
The good thing about Glyphosate is that it is safe and soon breaks down on contact with the soil. It is systemic which means it works its way down the plant into the roots. It also doesn’t kill the plant straight away which is good as it gives time for weedkiller to work its way down into roots.
- Roundup Weedkiller concentrate. Good for large areas which need treating.
In some countries it is actually accepted as an organic weedkiller. But, not in the UK.
It’s only drawback is that you will need repeated applications for strong and resilient weeds such as horsetail and bindweed.
