weed killer of the moment

Posted by James Macleod on April 22, 2013 at 7:35pm in Pesticides

Hello

What's the preferred weed treatment at the moment?
Got my pa1 / pa6 last winter so this will be my first year spraying!
Was looking at 5l of gallup 360 for about £40, any better alternatives? will be doing customers driveway's & paths.

Cheers James

    Proliance Quattro for me. Been using it for the last couple of years now. Bare in mind you cant blanket spray hard surface areas any more, spot spraying only.

    www.grow-welldirect.co.uk are the cheapest i have found James. I like this product a lot. Formulated to be used without any of the usual ppe requirements, which is a godsend when its a hot sunny day.

    Looks good Brian and cheap at £37 for 5L!
    Did you use it by recommendation or were you drawn to it by it'a lack of hazard warnings?
    What did you use previously?

    i use these boys, good pricing and good to deal with - currently using Roundup Biactive, Kurtail and Grazon

    Hi Stuart, Do you use the 360 or 450 strength?

  • Stuart Land-Scape.co.uk April 23, 2013 at 9:42pm

    i use the 360 as i'd end up overdosing if i had a more concentrated one. if this wasn't a public forum, i'd probably admit i overdose with 360 as it is........

    tried them all over the years James. I go through about 60 litres a year on average and have found this stuff the best for general weed control, also does a great job on JKW.
