After the wonderfully hot dry weather we have had this Summer then a little rain, has brought up all the weeds in my garden. Everything was looking brown and dry. When the damp rain came the weeds, grass, and plants came to life. It always seems the weeds grow faster than the rest! So I was excited (yes I do get extremely happy when it comes to my garden) to get the chance to try out the Roundup Telescopic Wand with Total Gel.
Product Description
Kills weeds that are hard to reach. Gel wand extends up to 86cm. No more bending down to treat weeds. Compatible with Total Gel, Path Gel & Tough Gel. Contains glyphosate. The unique gel formulation can be simply dispensed through the click of a trigger and ensures all of the weedkiller is applied accurately onto the target weed leaves. Ideal for flower beds, vegetable plots and lawns.
Features
- Gel wand extends up to 86cm
- No more bending down to treat weeds
- Compatible with Total Gel, Path Gel & Tough Gel
- Contains glyphosate
- Kills up to 1000 weeds
- First effect seen around 5-10 days.
- Root kill in 7-28 days depending on the type of weed and weather
How To Use
- It’s always best to read the label on the gel so you know what you are dealing with to start.
- Remove the cap and foil seal, then prime (for first use) by clicking the blue button around 20 times until the gel appears at the top of the applicator.
- To connect the gel to the wand insert onto the bottom end of the wand and twist to click. (This step is only if you are replacing the gel)
- Press the blue button and pull to extend the wand to your desired length.
- Pull the blue trigger to use.
- Apply to weeds on borders and paths.
- Remember to clean the gel off after use by wiping the applicator on a weed leaf.
- Then firmly replace the blue cap.
- Store away from children and pets.
What I thought
Weeds are a pin for any gardener and I’m always willing to try something new to keep them under control. My late dad used to be a fan of Roundup and used it regularly on his garden paths. He would have loved the new Roundup telescopic wand because of its ability to get to the weed without bending down.
For me the best feature is it’s reach ability so no bad backs while bending. It’s quick and easy to use, plus you are not in contact with the weed killing gel. Almost right away the gel left black marks on the weed’s leaves. So it’s good to see it working.
I do like that the Roundup Telescopic Wand is interchangeable with all the different gels you can buy on the market.
It’s an item I would be happy to buy the refills again.
Available To Buy
You can buy the wands and gel separately on eBay.
*I was gifted a Roundup Telescopic Wand and Total Gel in exchange for this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
looks like a great product
I wouldn’t say I’m that keen a gardener, but I do like to try and I’ve been trying to get our garden into shape. It’s quite large, so taking some time and so would love to have the help of something like this roundup telescopic wand to help control the weeds.
I am not a keen gardener but I certainly try to have a green thumb.
Just started getting into gardening this year and grew my first ever cherry tomatoes
I find it hard to find the time to do as much gardening as I’d like to but I do enjoy it when I do 🙂
I have been gardening for as long as I can remember, my grandad would give me £1 for digging up his weeds with a screwdriver, I used to get so cross when they took ages to grow back!
Love gardening
I’ve been interested in gardening from a young age, especially growing fruits and vegetables
i love to havea go at growing some veg i havent had huge success tho
I try , I wouldn’t say I’m the best but i have a go
Love gardening my son likes to try and help to
yes I am and I am not enjoying the weeds along the side of my driveway which are actually growing up through the tarmac
I like gardening on a sunny day when I don’t have much else to think about but that is a rare occurrence so mainly I find it a chore.
I’m probably not as keen as i could be and i certainly don’t always know what I’m doing! But i do love having a try )
I love gardening so much and I love to keep it tidy
I dont have a garden but my Dad is a keen gardener and this would really help him. Thanks for the chance to win this for him x
Yes, I got into gardening at the beginning of the year and find it really relaxing and therapeutic
We have a large rural garden. My husband works hard on it, but our next door neighbour allows weeds to grow & seed & seeds blow into our garden. This RoundUp gel would really help.
I love gardening but don’t always get time to do it
yes i do like to garden
We have a big garden , i love looking afer it
I think we’ve got a bind weed farm next door! Roundup really works
I enjoy gardening but would really like to get into growing my own herbs and food
i love gardening and and am very proud of my garden i send a lot of time keeping it tody and colourful
I like a bushy, colourful garden but I’m not particularly green-fingered, I have a lot of perennials, shrubs and bulbs so I don’t have to do a great deal, I do find gardening quite therapeutic though
I enjoy gardening and the satisfaction it brings for a week before I have to do all over again
I’m new to gardening but very keen to learn
I’m at an age where I’m starting to take an interest and learning from my dad so I can take over the family allotment
I’ve just gotten to the stage where I can keep houseplants alive and well so have decided it’s time to venture outside 🙂
Absolutely in love with gardening now that we have our own little garden! Just moved in last year so this summer was an adventure sprucing things up and learning how to do everything … now to keep the weeds on task!
that would be my partner tho i do enjoy it
I love gardening I find it really relaxing and it’s so rewarding g when you see your garden looking pretty with flowers and being able to eat what you grow always tastes better
I love gardening I haven’t had much time this year but wil definitely be getting back to it
I do like gardening to keep my garden tidy and full of colour. I use round up spray on my long driveway but this looks great and would save time and having to bend over!
I love keeping my garden looking nice and adding in new plants for colour but I hate the weeds. I use round up on my long driveway in a spray bottle but this looks amazing – so useful and easy and no bending over!
I like gardening but I am scared of creepy crawlies!
I enjoy gardening
Just recently become a gardener as I have bought a home with a fairly mature and quite big garden – and really enjoy it, very definitely a relaxing activity (and the kids love helping out too!)
I love my garden, it is my stress reliever, my greengrocer, my place for spotting wildlife, my source of flowers for the house and my daily workout.
Please count me in in, garden could do with this.
Yes, I love gardening we only have a small garden but I’ve tried to make use of every little spot cramming plants in everywhere.
My wife is the real gardener and swears by RoundUp
I am a trying gardner – I am learning!
i love gardening but my garden is a work in progress at the moment its taking alot longer to sort out than expected when we moved in x
I like to do a bit of gardening if the weathers nice
I like a tidy garden with some shrubs and plants. We’ve just moved and only have a small back garden now. This would definitely help
How safe are the chemicals in this for pets and children?
Yes I love gardening, but don’t get enough time to do as much as I’d like to.
Not ‘keen’ but we’ve just installed big flower beds. Weeds are setting in already so i guess i’ll need to get more keen.
I used to enjoy gardening, but not so much recently.
I try to be..!
I’m keen when I have enough time 🙂
I am just starting out with gardening.
i do not have the greenest of fingers but i enjoy gardening, i spend a lot of time weeding sometimes pulling flowers and plants out in an over zealous attempt at tidying the beds up. what i lack in skills i make up for in enthusiasm
To be completely honest, I’m not much of a gardener. I suck at keeping anything alive! I have a small courtyard garden where I suffer so badly with weeds (it seems to be the only plants I CAN’T kill!!)
I am a keen gardener and I have grown enough fruit and vegetables this summer for us to be self-sufficient!
I’m a keen gardener, I love growing my own tomatoes and herbs
Not me – but my husband is!
I’d love to make my garden look beautiful, it’s going to take a lot of time and effort
I am a keen gardener, but only on very short bursts
I’m a keen gardener in the spring/summer and I grow my own fruit and vegetables.
I love gardening. I even have a veg plot.
I do like gardening but have only started getting to grips with it all!
I’m not overly good (or keen) at it if I am honest.
My dad is the gardener in our family but I do try to help him as much as possible.
Not really but it is a necessity with the big garden I have xx
not really, i make it look nice as i can thats about it
Love growing my own Veg, lovely and fresh.
no I leave all of that to my husband
no, my partner is the gardener. i like planting in the summer but he doeas all the hard work!
I’m not, but my boyfriend is and I’d love to win this for him. He loves using new gadgets to do the garden 🙂
Sort of. I’m all keen and enthusiastic in the spring and early summer then get grumpy when there’s too much to do and it’s cold outside in the autumn!
I’m definitely trying to get into gardening, now that I have one 🙂
Would use if isn’t harmful to animals like hedgehogs.
Love gardening, but not sure I very good at it!
i love it! the children help out in the veggie patch too
Yes i love to garden and grow my own vegetables although i hate weeding the garden ;/
Great handy prize. I love growing fresh herbs.
Yes i enjoy gardening. Helps keep the stress levels down. Great exercise. Nice to see a lovely garden as a result of all my hard work. Best bit relaxing outdoors on a sunny day enjoying the garden.
Not really, my husband is though
I love growing my own vegetables
No, but my friend is she grows her own fruit and veg, also has flowers
I try to be but I’m getting more into it
I am not too bad at gardening. But my husband is terrible and keeps wrecking all my hard work
I am so bad – I have convinced myself that I don’t have green fingers, unlike my Mum or husband, so I leave all the gardening to him! I do fantasise about creating a ‘scented garden’ some day though, which would definitely be a personal project!
Ohhhh yes 🙂
To be fair – No….my partner is the gardener in our home…I marvel everyday how I manage to even keep the kids alive!!
I GARDEN A LITTLE BUT ONLY BECAUSE HAVING EHLERS DANLOS SYNDROME AND AS A RESULT 8 DISLOCATIONS A DAY MINIMUM IT PHYSICALLY ISNT POSSIBLE I CANT DO THE MOVEMENTS WITHOUT INJURY THIS WOULD ASSIST WITH WEEDING
absolutely love to garden my parents and grandparents taught me , We are at present inundated with lots of gorgeous tomatoes
I like to potter about in the garden but I’m no expert.
I do my best to have a tidy garden, nice lawn!
yes, i love being out in the garden #luckylinky
Yes, I find it quite relaxing. Hate weeding though!
Yes I love it apart from all those weeds
We’re constantly looking for ways to improve our garden, it’s getting better each year so we must be doing something right.
A fabulous and well needed Competition!!! 💜💜💜
My garden is my sanctuary. We moved last Christmas so I have spent the year designing my new garden.
Fair weather gardener
Not as much this year as normal as weve had another baby taking up all our time, but next year i plan to get back into it like i used to be
yes, i love my garden especially watching all the spring bulbs emerge
I’ve only managed to grow anything in a greenhouse, it doesn’t seem to matter what I do to help but the greenhouse seems to be the one doing the work
I’m a fair weather gardener!
We have a big garden and I am out in in most days apart from the bad weather
I am hopeless at gardening as I don’t have green fingers. I do okay with vegetables but when it comes to plants I leave it up to my hubby.
we have a few plants along our fence, but hubby normally sees to them.
No but my neighbour is.
i love gardening i wish i could do it year round
No but my mother in law is.
We have just moved and this would be great to help in tackling the garden
Yes i love gardening
no im not but my husband is, he loves being out there.
I love gardening but There never seems to be enough time to do everything that I want to do!
No, probably due to lacking a garden. Have at times lived in flat with garden :- Garden owned by landlord / landlady, and maintained by then or their employed gardener / gardening team. So have enjoyed various gardens over the years.
Present landlord gave permission for a group of tenants to maintain small garden areas at the flats. Keen gardening neighbours / tenants are enjoying maintaining it, and we are all enjoying seeing it, as much improvement has been made.
If won prize, it would be gifted / donated to be used by our keen/ eager/ excellent gardening neighbours.
I’m not, but my mum is and would LOVE this as a gift!
I hate gardening
Well I try my best so yes.
Yes I am, I love getting out into the garden for an hour or two and always find plenty to do. Thanks for the giveaway.
My garden could certainly use this
Thanks, there are dandelions in hard to reach places in my garden, this would be so handy.
I am doing much more gardening now than I used to and really enjoying it
Yes I love gardening

Im no gardener but I would love to have a pretty garden just need someone to design it for me
Not really. Do it because I have to!
No learning to love it
no i am not a keen gardener i just do the basics cut grass plant some flowers and plants etc
Most things I touch perish, so good for weeding at least
I’ve spent the last few years trying to get my garden shipshape… Roundup Gel is such a fuss free way of keeping my garden weed free! And anything that saves my back when doing garden chores is a bonus.
I’m very much a reluctant gardener – I only do it because I have to! 🙂
Just got a small garden but love it
I enjoy working in my garden but detest all the weeds
I love my garden, but have to admit I’m not overly keen on spending the time required to keep it in great shape…I like shortcuts that help 😉
I like gardening but with 5 kids I don’t get much time to be out there gardening.
I love gardening and have my own allotment aswell.
I enjoy gardening but only when it is sunny
Yes I love gardening!
I love gardening

Very much so, lucky to have a big garden and it needs a lot of attention.
I hate gardening lol but my hubby was a landscape gardener for a long time so thankfully he does ours!
my husband is x
I try to be a keen gardener!
I usually need a bit of motivation to do any gardening but afterwards I’m really pleased I did it
I’m not personally, but my dad really enjoys gardening!
I used to love gardening but a bad back prevents me doing anything that involves bending so now I help with the planning of our fruit and veggie plot while hubby does the work. I then cook, bake, freeze the harvest of all his labours. We both then get to eat it! Team work 🙂
Have to say I love gardening,very therapeutic
I’m not a keen gardener – I usually leave it to my hubby!
I wouldn’t say I am a keen gardener, but I do my best to keep the garden tidy

Oh yes, i do enjoy gardening, I like to have it neat and tidy! i mow the grass and weed, I also pot some flowers and this year I have planted some shrubs.
