A WONDER-FUL INNOVATION

HOZELOCK LAUNCHES THE PERFECT PRODUCT TO HELP ELIMINATE WEEDS

Thanks to British Gardening manufacturer Hozelock, there is now a brand new way to eliminate weeds.

The Wonderweederis the latest in gardening innovation from Hozelock which isan efficient, alternative solution for treating weeds on driveways, paths and patios.

The Wonderweeder, designed by gardeners, for gardeners, is the perfect solution to help remove those unwantedand annoying invasive weeds that gardeners hate.

Latest research shows that over 41%* of gardeners are concerned about over spraying weed killer onto other plants and a massive 60% do not like bending down to remove the frustrating weeds.

Lisa Jordan, Marketing Manager at Hozelock said: “Gardeners can now say goodbye to having to bend down when treating weeds. The Wonderweeder’s lightweight and easy to use ‘push and go’ function allows gardeners to kill frustrating weeds accuratelywithout spraying onto precious plants.”

Perfect for spot weeding, the Wonderweeder has many advantages over a traditional sprayer:

  1. Hassle Free–The upright design allows weeds to be treated without the need to bend down. Not only this, it is easily operated by using the push-down handle at the top.
  1. Precision Spraying – The nozzle located within the protective cone allows precise spraying at all times. This avoids the accidental spraying of surrounding plants.
  1. Reusable – It can be used over and over again and filled with your choice of weed killer.
  1. No wastage – The central reservoir tube has a 300ml capacity. The tube is 1 metre long and enables the treatment of weeds in hard to reach areas. The handy dosing cap in the handle is graduated from 1ml to 5ml to help with mixing concentrate solution.

The HozelockWonderweeder is now available to gardeners from DIY stores, leading garden centres and specialist retailers priced RRP: £17.99
