Westland Deadfast WeedKiller Concentrate is a professional-strength, systemic weed control solution designed for the total eradication of tough and deep-rooted garden vegetation. This product comes in a convenient tub containing 12 individual 100ml concentrated sachets, providing a pre-measured and mess-free way to mix effective batches of weedkiller. Engineered to travel from the leaf down to the very tip of the root, Deadfast ensures that even the most persistent perennial weeds are killed completely, preventing any future regrowth. It is an ideal choice for clearing large overgrown areas, reclaiming neglected garden plots, or maintaining pristine driveways and patios where heavy weed pressure is a constant challenge.

Key Features and Specifications

The concentrate features a high-strength systemic formula that is effective against a broad spectrum of annual and perennial weeds, including difficult species like brambles, nettles, thistles, and docks. Each 100ml sachet is designed to be diluted with water, typically making enough solution to cover up to 33 square meters when applied with a sprayer. The total tub capacity covers a vast area of approximately 400 square meters. The formula is non-selective, meaning it will tackle almost any green plant it contacts. Once applied, the weedkiller is absorbed into the plant’s sap stream and is typically rainproof within 6 hours of application, provided it has had sufficient time to dry.

How to Use

To prepare the solution, fill a clean pressure sprayer or watering can with the required amount of water as specified on the packaging. Carefully open one 100ml sachet and pour the concentrate into the water, then mix thoroughly. For best results, apply when weeds are actively growing and have plenty of green leaf area to absorb the spray, usually between March and October. Spray the leaves until they are thoroughly wetted but before the liquid begins to run off. Avoid application on windy days to prevent drift onto valued plants. If used near borders, a spray shield is recommended to protect your flowers and shrubs.

Advantages and Disadvantages

The primary advantage of the Deadfast Concentrate Tub is the incredible value and coverage it offers for large-scale projects. The pre-measured 100ml doses eliminate the need for complicated measuring cylinders, reducing the risk of spills and incorrect dosing. Its systemic action is a significant benefit for permanent weed removal, as it destroys the root system entirely. A potential disadvantage is that this product requires a separate sprayer or watering can for application, unlike ready-to-use versions. Additionally, because it is a total weedkiller, extreme care must be taken around lawns and ornamental plants, as accidental contact will cause significant damage or death to those plants.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

How long does it take for the weeds to die?

You will typically see the first signs of browning or wilting within 7 to 14 days, though some very tough or woody weeds may take up to 28 days to die back completely to the root.

Can I use this to clear a patch of ground for a new vegetable bed?

 Yes, once the weeds have completely died and turned brown, the ground can be dug over and replanted. The weedkiller is inactivated when it touches the soil, so it will not affect the roots of new plants put in later.

Is it safe to use under trees or established hedges?

 While the weedkiller is absorbed through green leaves and bark, you should avoid spraying the foliage or any low-hanging branches of your trees. Avoid application near the roots of very young trees or shrubs that have thin, green bark.
