More Instructions

Try to get to the base of the plants and cut down into the rhizome or bulbs and paste onto the exposed tissue. Wipe away any sap or exudate before applying the gel or apply as quickly as possible to the level flat cut surface and working as a team of two always improves the kill. If you start at the bottom of the hill and work up you can throw the slash behind you without it getting in the way of the work area. Also coving up the cut stumps will protect them from rain washing the Gel off and exclude light from the stumps.

MetGel has a blue dye so you can see where you’ve treated and where you haven’t. Wearing a pair of nitrile gloves to prevent skin contact is good practice. A Silky saw, available from us at https://www.cutnpaste.co.nz/shop/ is the best tool for the job and easy and light to carry.

If you are using Picloram or Bamboo Buster/Glimax to kill tough shrubby or tree weeds, adding a little MetGel to the stumps will enhance their killing power.
