Weeds appearing in your lawn, borders or gravel paths? A little regular attention can stop them taking over. Start by removing small weeds, then choose an approach suited to where they grow.
Start with hand weedingLoosen the soil and lift out weeds, removing as much root as possible. The Spear & Jackson Elements Hand Trowel is useful for working in beds and borders. Remove weeds before they set seed.
Choose carefully for lawnsIf treatment is needed, choose a product specifically designed for grass. Weedol Lawn Weedkiller Gun, 1L offers a ready-to-use option for targeting broadleaf lawn weeds such as daisies and dandelions.
Tackle weeds on pathsRemove weeds from cracks and gravel by hand where practical. For chemical treatment, consider Weedol Path & Gravel Weedkiller with Sprayer, 3L, checking the label for permitted surfaces. Do not use path weedkillers on lawns.

Always read the product label and follow application instructions, including precautions for children, pets and nearby plants.
