Rootblast | Super Strength Concentrated Total Weed Killer - Glyphosate for Effective Weed Control - Kills Weeds down to the their roots (1 x 1L), Packaging May Vary

Effective weedkiller. Works on grasses and patio weeds. Requires patience. It's not as fast acting as say Roundup or Weedol, but it works out at a fifth of the price or less and the end result is still the same.

This item works and certainly kills weeds very effectively. The speed and efficacy of the chemicals impacted upon the weeds on our gravel paths, our patios and also a large area of weeds on land adjacent to our property, which we don’t, own and nobody maintains. I applied it using a pressurised sprayed with a rate of 24ml per litre which in theory covers 400 sqm; I would say that this is a trifle optimistic for coverage using a conventional garden sprayer. No one is questioning the strength of the product, rather is is difficult to deliver in such a fine spray.Once killed, the weeds have not return so far. I cannot say it is easy to use as you have to exercise caution when applying any chemical, particularly in an aerosol form so I wear a mask when applying these products when applying over a wide area, but when targeting weeds on a patio or similar, there is no need in my opinion.In summary, effective, reasonably priced and reduces weed growth, even established weeds quickly and efficiently.

It did take about a week to see the results but the weeds are gone, can't really say how long it will last only time will tell, I'm pleased will the results though.

Rootblast is effectively concentrated glyphosate. Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide which will kill pretty much any plant it is sprayed on but, and here’s the important bit, doesn’t hang around in the soil in the way that some other weed killers do so it means you can still use the soil to grow other things when your weeds have gone.Glyphosate is relatively safe in that it works by preventing the plant from making amino acids. Amino acids are needed to make proteins and proteins pretty much do everything in a living organism so no proteins equals no life. Once it’s sprayed on it will take a week or so to kill off the plant - which will be using up its proteins in the meantime - so don’t expect to com out the next morning and find your weeds all shrivelled up and dead. But they will die,although some tough weeds might need a second go.There has been concern relating to the potential for glyphosate to be connected with cancer. As far as I understand this is when animal tissue is exposed to a lot of glyphosate. If, like me, you are just going to spray it on the weeds in your garden and, as always, wash you hands after, then I believe there is effectively no risk but it’s always worth doing your own research if you are concerned. Humans, like all other animals, obtain their proteins from the food we eat so glyphosate cannot interfere with our protein formation. I use it and am a lot happier with it than some of the other weedkillers that have been around.In short, Rootblast does what it says it will and it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than buying glyphosate ready mixed.BTW, don’t spray your weeds when it’s windy unless you want to do in your dahlias etc. as well.

Have bought several weedkiller to kill weeds & Ivy no such luck. After lots of research came accross Rootblast, well we did use it stronger that stated on the bottle, as the whole space 170m2 was covered in thick ivy along with a range of other weeds.... after 2 weeks you could see the ivy dying & going brownby the end of 3.5 to 4 weeks which is what it states on bottle ALL weeds including the awful, strong ivy & was so easy to rake & clear the area. The weeds have not returned but the birds have now dropped a load of seeds that are growing but the main thing is IVY was dead & not returned. The weedkiller was down & then 7 hrs later it hammered it down, so I was sepitcal due to the rain.... but it's amazing product but can be slow and take upto 4 weeks on weeds such as IVY. I would certainly recommend I have purchased again!I used in a sprayer which was easy to use & good coverage, instructions very easy & clear. Read in full before use & just be aware that if you spray plants or grass by mistake it will kill that too Being a prime member excellent service with next day delivery. It is very very strong so keeps pets & kids off for a good 12 hrs....... good luck & Happy weeding!! 😊 xx

Works OK but a bit disappointed

A really strong weed killer that wiped out anything I sprayed it on! There was one slight issue. I decided to jet wash the patio a week after applying this and the remnants must have ran down onto my grass with the run off of water, it completely wiped out the grass within 3 metres! So I’m not best pleased but that was my own issue!

Had to use double the quality recommended. Good results with the second application.
