Roundup Gel - how much to use

I'm trying to eradicate a collection of nettles and other weeds from my summer bulbs bed using Roundup Gel. Nettles are quite shallow rooted and can be easily pulled up with leather gloves and a fork to loosen the soil. How much gel do I need to use? - a dab on one leaf? - cover all the leaves? - a smear over a few leaves? The instructions on the container seem enthusiastic but are not very precise. Anybody know? A few growing point leaves ought to do it but it is already a bit too late for this year as most deciduous plants have already stopped growing and will not be badly affected by glyphosate any more. They have to be in active rapid growth for it to work well (and takes about two weeks). It is now too cold for that at least where I live. Save the stuff for next spring and remove the weeds manually for now. -- Regards, Martin Brown |
