Roundup science note
Roundup and your garden environment?
Roundup® is completely biodegradable, breaking down into natural products in both soil and water.
Any Roundup® that makes its way to the soil, sticks very tightly to the soil and will not move off the treatment site.
Micro-organisms then break down the ingredients in Roundup® into naturally occurring compounds.

Well-fed garden plants can outcompete weeds.
Fertilise your plants with an Osmocote® controlled release fertiliser, then cover the soil with mulch.
Which Osmocote®?
Spray on weeds in paths, pavers & garden beds, on existing plants or grass, and on grass along fence lines and around beds.

When to use
Best results are achieved when plants are actively growing in spring and autumn. Very hot, very dry or very cold conditions will reduce effectiveness.
Don’t use if rain is expected within 6 hours.
How to use
Turn the nozzle to the ON position. Spray on to the leaves of grass and weeds.
Apply on a still day to prevent spray drift on to other plants.
Why Roundup® Ready To Use is so useful
Used according to instructions this herbicide kills weeds right down to the roots without poisoning the soil.
Roundup® is taken up through the leaves and moves in the sap flow throughout the plant. It stops the production of proteins so that the plant starves. This process is found only in plants.
Roundup® has extremely low toxicity to humans, pets and wildlife. Its impact on the environment has been extensively tested. Read the Health & Safety information about Roundup® at the Roundup® information site.
Sizes
Available in a 1litre trigger bottle,
3 litre bottle with a trigger gun on the side
and 5 litre with a Pull ‘N Spray gun.
Be aware! Roundup® is non-selective.
Do not allow spray to drift onto ANY plants or grass that you do not want killed. Roses, in particular, are very sensitive to spray drift.
