HOW TO CONTROL NETTLE

Apply WOODY WEED CONTROL to all parts of the plant. It will control nettle within 7–10 days.

For best results apply in Spring, Summer or Autumn when the plant is in active growth.

If you wish to more effectively prevent regrowth, apply RONSTAR WEEDSTOP granules. This is a selective pre-emergent herbicide which penetrates deep into the soil. Do not plant seeds or sensitive plants into treated soil within 3 months of application.

 

About
