Cut'n'Paste Metgel Weed Gel 5L Container MetGel with Pump Unit
METG5
What it is:
A ready‑to‑use weed‑killing gel that you dab directly onto the weed. It contains **metsulfuron‑methyl**, which is great for tough woody weeds and plants like ginger, privet, gorse, broom, and agapanthus.
Why gardeners like it
- No spraying
- No mixing
- No drift onto your good plants
- Very little product needed
- Bright green so you can see where you’ve applied it
- Good option if you want to avoid glyphosate
How to Use It
1. For cut stems or stumps
- Cut the weed near the ground.
- Immediately squeeze a thin layer of gel over the whole cut surface.
- The plant will slowly die over a few months.
- If anything grows back, just reapply.
2. For leafy weeds
- Lift a leaf and expose the underside.
- Brush a little gel onto the underside.
- The plant will stop growing and die over 3–6 months.

⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind
- Don’t use it in the rain or if rain is expected within 12–18 hours.

- Only a tiny amount is needed, so apply carefully.
