Product Information

On the plus side, the fact that this product isn’t left in the ground means that the treated areas can be sown or planted again relatively soon after using the product.

The nozzle can be twisted to select either a ‘jet’ or a mist; however, the mist is not particularly fine. The jet, on the other hand, can be used as expected to sufficiently target individual weeds. One thing to note about this weed killer is that it doesn’t work especially fast. To kill the roots, it needs around 3-4 weeks. While the weeds do start to wilt within a few hours, it takes 7 days before I actually felt the weed killer was working! Despite the slower results, it does work as well as others on the market, and it’s very easy to use.As well as tough, woody weeds, SBK is also capable of getting rid of tree stumps; a diluted solution needs to be poured into drilled holes in the wood which turns the stump soft and mushy after about a month. There are also weed killers that can be used before weeds have the chance to develop, working pre-emptively to ensure not weeds grows in an area you’re planning on using. This bottle contains 360 g of product, enough to cover a 1666 sqm area. It does require mixing before application, but it comes with a measuring cap included which is very easy to use. It can be applied using either a watering can or a sprayer. Using a single sachet on a weed is also possible, although you won’t get anywhere near the same level of coverage. Still, there are instances where you may require a potent weed killing solution to remove a particularly stubborn weed – think large growths of brambles or even on a tree stump to kill it off.
