    Back-in-the-day when I was working at a nursery we used a product called Rondstar. It was a granular weed killer that you sprinkle on the surface of the potted plants to stop small weeds growing.

    I see it is still available, but you have to buy masses and it is really expensive.

    I was wondering, is there a product on the market for gardeners?

    I only want a little bit to put on the top of my acer pot as it is riddled with campanula that I just can't seem to get rid of :(

    If I remember rightly, Rondstar is a weed suppressant, not a weedkiller. Unfortunately this type of product is no longer available to the domestic gardener, along with the likes of Cutlass.:cry3:

      sounds about right but POO!!!!!

      Ok, so how am I going to get the campanulla out of my acer??? I've tried stripping an inch of soil off and that hasn't worked :scratch:

      Although, if it's happy where I have put it I may just plant it.
