Take the back strain out of weeding with the Weedball

As the winter progresses and gardeners’ thoughts turn towards new springtime growth - one of the first concerns will be weed control.

With the current emphasis on environmentally friendly gardening and a need to reduce unnecessary use of spraying chemicals to control weeds, the weedball provides the perfect solution for tackling weeds.

This ingenious product is designed to make weed control safer, easier, and more efficient. The full-length handle is easy on the back removing the need to bend or crawl to reach awkward weeds -making it easy to use even for the less mobile gardener.

Benefits of the WeedBall?

• Rolls over weeds – equally effective on flat or tall weeds
• Ideal for glyphosate type weedkillers
• No spray drift (even in windy conditions) or potentially damaging over-spray
• Targets weeds - reduces chemical usage by to 80%

Weedball
The handle of the weedball acts as a reservoir for the weedkiller with an adjustable flow system which releases the desired amount of liquid onto a roller. This in turn dispenses it onto the ball itself.

The ball is made of a special durable foam compound, which, when flexed with a small amount of pressure, pumps liquid to the outside surfaces of the ball. One side of the weedball is flat to allow easy operation along walls and kerbs.
