Weeding & Mulching

Weeds will create competition for vital nutrients and moisture and therefore keeping your veg patch weed free is really important.

Begin your growing season with a weed free plot. Treat any existing weeds with Resolva 24H. It deals with the weeds from top to bottom by applying a contact weedkiller for fast results and a systemic action weedkiller that works at the root level to destroy the weeds from the roots up. This two in one action ensures that all weeds are tackled efficiently and that the results can be seen within 24 hours. Once the weeds are dead remove from the vegetable patch and destroy. Resolva 24H is biodegradeable and is broken down naturally on contact with the soil meaning that you can repeat immediately after use.

Having removed all the weeds it’s a really good idea to use a mulch.  This way weed seedlings are less likely to grow.  Mulching is also a great way of retaining heat and moisture in the soil.  A great way of recycling your garden waste is to create your own mulch using Westland ‘Make Your Own Compost’.  You could also use Westland Soil Conditioner or Westland organic Farmyard Manure.  By doing this you’

ll also keep topping up the nutrients in the soil which are being used up by your growing plants.
