you really want a lot of leaf to spray using glyphosate (roundup) and give it a few days to reach all parts of the root, resolva is glyphosate and diquat ,diquat is a contact weed killer and only kills the top not the roots i guess they add it so you can see quick results but not really helping with long term weed issues, its good for killing potato tops without effecting the spuds underground and eu is banning it, i dig the root upEye have killed a load of me nettles with resolva. First I cut a load of them int half so they were 18 inch tall. Then sprayed the leaves on the nettle leaves that were left. Theory being I could use up space int me garden wheeeeelie bin. The bits that are left are nearly stalks on their own as the leaves seem to have dissoled.
Can eye just pull out the rest of the nettle or do eye need ter loosen tup the soil so the root puls out with the stem? Am wondering if leaveing the root int place is a bad thing as it will be contageous with poisen from the resolva chemical me thinks.
