Large areas can be tackled by various glysophate concentrates whereas the green areas and grasses are saved by selective herbicides but when it comes to individual perennial weeds in paths and flower borders, there are a very few measures available to control them. In such a challenging niche, Hozelock promises effective weed control with the Hozelock Wonder Weeder.
The Hozelock Wonder Weeder is a unique weeding tool with a special delivery medium which helps control weeds on driveways, paths and patios, using the best weed killer of your choice.
There are several challenges using a sprayer which spreads the herbicide more than needed, affecting the surrounding plants too. Also, small patches of weeds do not require a large spray of weed killer; a localised dose would be enough for them. Perfect for spot weeding, the Hozelock Wonder Weeder has many advantages over a traditional sprayer. It is lightweight, easy to use and has a wide range of benefits.
