Weedol

~ ~ It?s that time of the year again. Spring has most definitely sprung, and that means that the garden is beginning to sprout vigorously once again after its winter hibernation. The rose bushes are growing new buds, the trees and shrubs are starting to show new leaves, and the crocuses and daffodils are in full bloom. (Or have even already bloomed) It?s great to see the garden beginning to blossom once again. But it also has its drawbacks. The grass on the lawn is already long enough to give cover to a raiding Apache war party, and along with all the blooming flowers and shrubbery, the dreaded weeds have also reared their ugly wee ...  Read the complete review

A jungle, that's what the garden was when I moved into my flat a few years ago. An old victorian house that had been converted with the garden left to seed for far too long. The 'lawn' had more in common with a meadow and the 'flower-borders' would have been more at home along the banks of the Amazon! Foolishly, I had agreed with the landlord that I would return the garden to some sort of reasonable state. It was only after I had moved in that I began to realise the scale of the task ahead of me. What were my options? I could welch on my deal with the landlord and leave the garden well alone but there was the deposit. I could attack it with a ...  Read the complete review

I?ve been using weedol spray for quite a while, not because its totally great but because I?m too lazy to go and find another! The spray is very much easier to use and after spraying the chemical onto those nasty overgrowing weeds they don?t actually die instantly but gradually, over a few days, but you must be careful not to spray your plants or grass, or they could die too. This can be used in most places like between slabs or bedding and even if they are coming out of the walls! In the advert it does state that weeds dont come back, i've actually had some weeds grow back after i have treated them with weedol, whats this about? ...  Read the complete review

Weedol is all well and good for getting rid of weeds in the short term, but there is nothing as good as pulling them up by the roots to ensure their long-term absence. Also, Weedol does not seem to work on some of the more 'difficult to shift weeds' such as nettles and goosegrass. I also think it is very expensive for a short-term solution. I'm afraid there is often no easy alternative to the old-fashioned method! ...  Read the complete review
