Monthly guide to Roundup - March

 

March

  • If the garden beds where you intend planting spring flowering bulbs and annuals are infested with weeds, or the remains of summer annuals now past their best, spray with Roundup on a dry, still day. Planting can be started a week or two later.
  • Autumn is an ideal time to plant evergreen shrubs and trees. The soil is still warm enough to ensure rapid establishment before the weather cools. Water them if the weather is dry
  • Plant seedlings of winter vegetables
  • Direct seed Sweet Peas on St Patrick’s Day (March 17). Old wives’ tale or fact – it seems to work
  • Lift and divide overgrown clumps of summer perennials now starting to die off
  • Fertilise the lawn with Lawn Builder Regular; use a spreader and be sure to apply at exactly the rate recommended on the pack. Re-turf or re-seed bare patches
  • Prune shrubs that have flowered over the summer months 
 

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.
