HOW TO CONTROL CHICKWEED

In garden beds

To control chickweed in garden beds, spot treat with BUSTER or ORGANIC WEEDFREE RAPID. ORGANIC WEEDFREE RAPID will burn down young weeds within hours. BUSTER is systemic and kills weeds down to the roots within 7-10 days and is an ideal product for use around established trees and shrubs. It is inactive in the soil so planting can be safely carried out soon after treatment.

For best results apply spray in Spring and Autumn when weeds are growing. Control before flowering and seeding to prevent similar problems the following year.


In paths and driveways

For long term control on paths and driveways use PATHCLEAR LONGTERM. This will kill a wide range of weeds and prevent regrowth for up to 12 months.

For best results apply spray in Spring and Autumn when weeds are growing.
