Stop troublesome
weeds! Scotts most famous weedkiller brand, Weedol, is now ultra-effective thanks to last year’s launch of Weedol Rootkill Plus. Based on a formulation of glyphosate and pyraflufen ethyl, this exclusive formula not only delivers the fast- acting visible results Weedol is famed for, but also effective root kill on tough perennial weeds, so even they stay dead. The formulation is available in concentrate and ready-to-use formats. The 250ml pack retails for just £5.99 and costs just 2p to treat a square metre. Following the removal of sodium chlorate from the market, Scotts launched Patchclear, a long-lasting weedkiller for customers looking for a replacement weedkiller. For use on paths, patios, drives and waste ground, it kills weeds, including their roots, and prevents regrowth for up to three months. And for those gardeners who rely on a name they can trust to kill perennial weeds, not only is there Weedol Rootkill Plus but there is, of course, the UK favourite Roundup. Roundup is available in a number of sizes, formulations and concentrations to ensure great value for money. For more information call 01483 410 334, email
