Product Information

You need to be very careful to make sure these weed killers don’t make their way into your pond. Killing your fish and aquatic life is a real possibility. It’s scientifically proven to cause embryonic development failure to aquatic life. So please be careful about allowing weed killers to run into water sources. The Roundup weedkiller is a ready-to-use liquid solution that contains 7.2g/l glyphosate and provides visible results within 48 hours. Avoid spraying on windy days as this will increase the likelihood of ingestion as well as reduce the amount of product that is absorbed on the leaf. If you spot bad weather on the horizon, stop what you’re doing and wait for dry weather. Protect wildlife 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. You need to be very careful where you spray the majority of weed killer products, as it only takes a little, accidental, splash in the wrong place and you prize flowers and vegetables can easily become collateral damage.

So for the thistle and bramble I have given less consideration to actual coverage and just blasted them down, saturating them in weed killer. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, glyphosate is safe for human health, however, some homeowners prefer less aggressive alternatives or natural solutions like botanic oils. For example, pelargonic acid works well on small seedling broadleaf weeds but is not efficient in cold weather. The Weedol brand was launched in the UK in 1906 and has been proving its efficiency for decades. Roundup is produced by Monsanto and acquired by the German pharmaceutical company Bayer. However, these two products differ in both form and ingredients. Best ready-to-use Overall I prefer the Gallup based on value for money but both products work well and this would probably be my second choice as it’s pretty good on Dandelion, Willow Herb, and most grasses. Strongest weed killer for home use [ tested and proven]: Gallup Absolutely ideal against bramble and thistle.Now I’m well aware this isn’t designed for trees and shrubbery but I thought I’d give it a go anyway. Since from the first two tests I have established Gallup is seriously strong, I thought I’d give it a go on this shrub growing out of my French drain. If it doesn’t work I’ll cut it off and use some tree stump killer. Here’s how that came out: Gallup killed the leaves after a few weeks but I don’t think it’s fully dead You can use this weed killer to kill Brambles, Ivy, and other woody shrubs. But, don’t expect it overnight. This is a product for someone with time on their hands. The manufacturer suggests 28 days for weeds to die. I will happily tell you it’s taken longer myself when using this product. I still really like it, don’t get me wrong but be aware you need to be patient – a few weeks in and everything starts to look yellow-ish: As you can see they’ve all been very effective on the less hardy weeds – don’t worry. They aren’t getting a buy rating that easily 🙂 On to the brambles and thistle test next! Results 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: 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.

Roundup– going to use 2 litres max in this test based on 60m2 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. One downside is that the pumping could be a problem for someone with restricted mobility. My mother who has rheumatoid arthritis for example couldn’t press it down enough to build up the pressure. I found the pump was a fair bit harder to use than Resolva’s similar 24 hour weedkiller.
