April

  • The first of the winter weeds will be starting to make an appearance now, as the weather cools. Winter Grass in lawns is often problematic. To control, apply a spot treatment of Roundup Ready-to-Use as soon as plants are noticed. Avoid spray drift on to the surrounding lawn.
  • Continue planting spring bulbs – all (apart from tulips) should be in before the end of the month
  • Place tulip bulbs in the vegetable crisper section of the refrigerator (NOT the freezer section) for an enforced chilling period of about five or six weeks
  • Give winter vegetables an application of Miracle-Gro MaxFeed Water Soluble Fertiliser for Tomatoes and Vegetables to keep them growing strongly
  • Keep ponds clear of falling leaves and other debris that may cause water quality to deteriorate
  • Stake chrysanthemums to stop stems breaking under the weight of blooms
  • Rake up autumn leaves and either add to compost or spread over garden beds to form leaf mould – no more than 10cm deep 
 

Why have weeds re-grown after several weeks?

Only deep-rooted rhizomatous weeds may re-grow. This will only happen if too little Roundup has been allowed to penetrate the full plant system. In this instance, a re-treatment will be required.

Why has it killed the grass?

Because Roundup is a non selective weedkiller, that means that Roundup is very effective at killing all plants. So be careful to only spray weeds or plants that you don’t want to keep.

Can it be used on paving?

Yes definitely, Roundup is ideal for use on paving, paths and drives as it penetrates right to the weeds roots to ensure a complete kill.
