Round Up Gel.

[carrust]

Has anyone used it yet?

[bednobs]

is that the one that targets individual weeds? If so, yes put it on last weekend. Dandelions still in rude health :(

[vakayu]

Hi carrust I am so glad you asked this question as I was considering getting some and will be intrigues by any answers as to whether it works or not.

[craft1948]

My lawn is full of the buggers...............

[jamesnan]

Yes I have and yes it does work, but you do have to be patient for the result, which is the same as if you use sprayable Roundup.

[giveup]

Quite expensive,not impressed,no better than the spray IMO.

[carrust]

It'll be perfect for my allotment when you get weeds growing next to onions or other veg. To use a spray would duff-up the plant growing next to it.

[jamesnan]

Should work fine there

craft, the best way to get rid of dandelions is to put a small heap, quarter to half a teaspoon in the centre of each and just leave them to die, it won't hurt the grass, its cheap and it works.
I am still working on the bindweed and grounds elder with roundup gel so early days yet.

[woofgang]

I used it last year on acanthus. It worked to an extent but didn't eradicate it.

[bednobs]

small heap of whta cecil?

[~Wingnut~]

Probably salt I think bednobs :)

[malana3]

Tried it last year on my rampant bindweed. It seems to have thrived so I'm not very impressed with it.

[carrust]

I've sorted out the bindweed by putting a cane near the plant & allow to climb the cane, then I duff it up with round up....They use this method in Kew gardens.

Helen Yemm suggests just adding some wallpaper paste to normal roundup, and apply with a small painbrush, it has the same effect. I am going to give it a try!
