  Choosing/Applying Weedkiller
Weeds can be a real problem in some gardens and if you are just about to tackle a neglected or large garden choosing the right weedkillers and applying at the right time could save you a lot of work.
The best time of year to apply a systemic weedkiller such as glyphosate is in late spring when the plant has started to grow and the plant's transport system is active.
Apply the weedkiller as directed on the packet, even if using a ready-to-use spray it is worth wearing rubber gloves to protect your hands from dribbles from the nozzle.

 Royal Horticultural Society - Advice: Applying Spot Weedkillers and Stump Killers
These are best treated by applying weedkiller directly to the stump, concentrating it in the outer ring of live tissue just beneath the bark.
Weedkiller is best applied to fresh stumps, as live tissue is needed for its uptake.
This may involve treating the entire cut surface of the stump, drilling holes around the living edge of the stump to pour the granules into, or using a chisel or axe to make wedge-shaped incursions around the edge of the stump, prising the bark off the living tissue without removing it completely.

 Weedkiller Targeted By City Poses Risk
The most common weedkiller on Canadian lawns and golf courses for the past 40 years, 2,4-D, is often absorbed into the semen of men who spray the pesticide, and is passed on to their wives during sex.
If the woman is pregnant, the fetus is also exposed to the pesticide, says a Health Canada study of 97 male Ontario farmers.
In broad-leafed plants such as dandelions, it acts like a growth hormone, causing a burst of uncontrolled growth that ultimately kills the dandelion while not affecting the grass.
