Roundup QuikPro, 6.8 lb. Jug

Last Spring I moved into an Ohio home with about 2,000 sq. ft. of badly neglected flower beds. When I say bad I mean really bad. They were overgrown with well established thistle, dandelion, poison ivy, and various other weeds of which I do not know the names. I knew before I mulched I would have to do some serious weed management. I went out and bought some premixed hand spray products at my local hardware store thinking they would do the trick and after several trips and literally spending hundreds of dollars I was not getting the results I had hoped for. Finally I broke down and decided to get serious about the job so I went and bought a two gallon tank sprayer and a box of five 1.5 ounce packets of Roundup QuickPro (about $8 on Amazon). The packets were enough to do about two full tanks in my sprayer which covered a complete over-spray on the front flower beds (about 500 sq. ft.). I was amazed with the results. Within a week, almost all of the weeds in the front were dead and after a second spot treatment the beds were ready for mulch. This Spring I knew I would be attacking the flower beds in the back (about 1500 sq. ft.) and I decided to go all out and get the 6.8 lb. jug of QuickPro instead of ordering a bunch of the smaller packets (I did the math and the savings on buying bulk on this product were pretty substantial). I have only done one application on the the back beds so far but already the weeds are drastically thinning out. I am sure after another spot treatment, they will be all but eradicated. A few things you should know about this product... Roundup suggests a 1.5 oz. per gallon mix ratio for this product. With the amount of established weeds I had I doubled the strength for the initial spraying. On future spot applications I used about a 2 oz. per gallon mix ratio with excellent results. This will eliminate almost anything you spray it on. I was not very careful in the front beds and the over-spray killed a bush the product came in contact with. I would not recommend spraying on a breezy day. If this product drifts onto wanted plants or grass it will kill them. Secondly, do not expect immediate results. This product takes about 5-7 days and sometimes two applications to kill dense weed populations. If you want immediate results get the shovel, gloves, and kneepads out and start weeding by hand. Lastly, this product does not sterilize the soil. By that I mean that you will have weeds pop up from time to time in previously sprayed areas. Future spot treatments will be necessary to manage weeds that pop up but the density and population has drastically thinned over time. BOTTOM LINE... If you are sick of spending tons of money on herbicide and not getting results buy the Roundup QiuickPro 6.8 lb. jug. After the project I had, I have little doubt there is a project out there this product will not work on. That being said, be careful with it. This is a non-selective total kill solution strong enough for large jobs but versatile enough for precision spot treatments if you are careful with it. I would highly recommend it.

great for killing weeds

This stuff works well. No weeds for over 6months will definitely buy again

Lasworke t me a whole summer cheaper that regular store

Works great to kill weeds.

Same results as liquid. Much easier and safer to store. No spilling or leaking. I use one jug every 6 months and am very happy with the speed and types of weeds it kills. Only a few desert weeds survive the sprayer.

Easy to use and better than buying liquid form.
