Tackle perennial weeds like bindweed, couch grass and ground elder at this time of year, as the moment your back is turned they’ll take over your garden and swamp your precious plants.
These pernicious, fast-growing weeds are every gardener's nightmare, but it's a rare patch that doesn't have at least a few of them muscling their way through the ground here and there. Most of the time perennial weeds are quite liveable with – even those considered particularly difficult to get rid of, such as marestail – as long as you don't let them get out of hand.
Act the moment you see them using a weedkiller such as RoundUp.This is a translocated weedkiller drawn right down into the weed's root system and you'll need to be super careful not to get it on ornamental plants growing nearby. If you only have a few perennial weeds in a bed or border paint them with Roundup gel which comes in a handy applicator.
You’ll find all you need to control your weeds in our garden centre here at Ardcarne and Roscommon Town, along with knowledgeable staff who can help you choose the right combination of methods to suit you.
