Advantages: Good price, especially with cashback

Disadvantages: Slightly misleading 24H in title; my weeds took several days to start to wilt

I spotted the 1 litre Resolva 24H spray in Tesco for £3.00 with an offer of £1.50 cashback by redemption from the manufacturer. Even without the cashback that made it cheaper than Roundup or other brand-name weedkillers so I thought I'd give it a whirl.

The nozzle has "stream", "spray" and "off" settings so it's easy to apply to the weeds without spraying nearby plants. I tried it on weeds growing between the flags in our front garden as well as weeds growing between the cracks in a stone circle in the back garden. All you need do is spray it on the weeds' leaves in calm weather and when it isn't going to rain.

The trigger is easy to use and doesn't take too much force to operate. Unlike some other sprays, my fingers didn't ache after applying it. The nozzle is easy to aim. The 1 litre spray treats approximately 40 square metres (approximately 48 square yards).

The active ingredients are glyphosate and diquat. Glyphosate is a very common sytemic weedkiller and is in many similar products. Four days after application, the weeds are now starting to wilt.

Resolva 24H is acually similar to a lot of other weedkillers, both brand-name ones and generic ones. At £3 it is good value - 99p cheaper than Roundup - and with £1.50 cashback even better value. However the 24H in the title is slightly misleading. I had assumed good results after 24 hours, but it has taken several days for the weeds to start to wilt. Reading the small-print, it can take 28 days for the complete effect to show. This is also similar to other weedkillers but they don't appear to claim a 24-hour action.

Summary: A good value weedkiller that does the job
