- Perennial weeds such as ground elder and nettles are best sprayed when the leaves are fully emerged in the spring
- Weeds may take up to 4 weeks to show effects of spraying – depending on the weed and the weather
- To allow enough time for the weed killer to translocate throughout the weed, do not apply fertiliser or manure 5 days before or after application
- Always spray in calm conditions - as spray drift could affect surrounding plants
- Once weeds have died they can be removed or dug into the soil - as long as they have no seed heads
- Treated areas can be immediately re-planted or sown with seeds
- Areas that are highly infested with weeds may require repeated treatment
- How to use the measuring chamber
- Loosen the cap slightly and squeeze the bottle to fill the measure to the level you need
