Works great!love the sprayer!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great! The sprayer is amazing! I love that it folds up and stores on the side... And when it sprays it continues to stay steady! It took a couple days before the weeds died... But they havent returned since i sprayed the walkway!

      Fast results
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was so easy to use. I have an area at my front porch walkway with only pine needles and landscape lighting. I am constantly getting grass or a weed coming up in this area. I sprayed the ground clear early one sunny morning before I left the house. When I returned several hours later, lots of small weeds had already turned brown and others were starting to die. I Like the spray mist that made it easy to cover all the area I wished to treat.

        best for killing weeds
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this is always my go-to for killing weeds and preventing them from coming back. it does say it kills for 1 year but i would say 5-6 months is more accurate which is still really great! the automatic sprayer is much easier to use as well, so nice being able to choose the spray setting too.

          Quick, East, long lasting results
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ortho GroundClear gives fast and easy results. No mixing is needed and the continuous spray wand gives a solid spray to easily target the product exactly where needed. We used it along our chain link fence line and could see visible results within hours. By morning the treated area was totally dead and almost two months later we've had zero regrowth including the stubborn vines we've been fighting for years. Same quick, lasting results along the sidewalk and driveway cracks we treated. I do like that both ready to go refills or concentrate are also available for a slightly lower price.

            Convenient and Easy to Use!
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The unit comes with its own powered sprayer, batteries included, this allowed me to concentrate on direct spraying on the grass and weeds.I sprayed this product on a warm day (which is ideal) and it started killing within 24 hours. That was two weeks ago, and so far the weeds are still 'dead'. We just had some good rain, so we shall see what happens. I was impressed with how quickly it worked. I was looking for a good grass and weed killer for my landscape rock. OrthoGroundClear does not disappoint, it killed weeds and pesky grass clippings that were taking over my landscape. I would recommend this to anyone with overgrown landscape

              Started working in an HOUR! Easy to use.
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The GroundClear container and delivery wand are easy to set up in minutes. I read the directions and applied as directed. I started at 8 am spraying may areas of my yard I did not want vegitation. The wand was easy to use covering the weeds and woody type plants. After spraying I waited to see IF this stuff worked as fast as the lable states ONE HOUR. I was happily surprised that most of the plants were already showing signs of the GroundClear in one hour. I liked the results of the product, It is easy to apply and so far very effective! I have a half bottle left to use in other places around my house.

                Top Shelf Product!
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been using my Ortho Groundclear for a while now and it is my GO TO whenever I want to make *sure* weeds and any other unwanted vegetation stay gone from my property. It is a timesaver considering that you *don’t* have to keep going over the same spots every few weeks. The automated nozzle is a GREAT PLUS as well! Will definitely buy again.

                  Great product
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product on my weeds in my yard and flower bed and it seems to work very well. It was very easy to assemble the sprayer on the bottle. Nice size easy to carry. Will definitely recommend to everyone

                    Doesn’t work
                    Don’t waste your time or money. 48 hours later it’s done next to nothing for anything besides clover.

                    We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Ortho GroundClear Year Long Vegetation Killer and appreciate your feedback.

                    Weeds will begin to show signs of wilting and yellowing within 1 hour of application under ideal conditions. A complete control may take up to 2 weeks depending on temperature conditions. For best results, apply when daytime temperatures are consistently between 65-85 degrees. Weeds taller than 6 inches should be mowed or cut down and debris removed before treatment. This is because taller weeds are more difficult to kill and will prevent product from reaching the soil to provide the year long weed prevention. The weeds and ground should be wet after application.

                    We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 877-220-3089 if we can further assist. ortho

                      Potentially the siphon tube and sprayer needs re-primed, place the container above the wand (either holding it above or setting it on something) and spray for 30 seconds. If the Wand begins to spray well at the end of 30 seconds you should be able to put the container down and continue spraying. If container has been used before, product may have crystallized in the sprayer tip preventing the product from spraying. Try to soak the sprayer tip ONLY in warm soapy water to dislodge any residue. You may need to re-prime the sprayer and siphon tube after unclogging the tip. If troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, please contact us for assistance.

                      Did what I was hoping for. Needed some persistent invasive vines taken care of and it dried them up within 36 hours.

Weeds will begin to show signs of wilting and yellowing within 1 hour of application under ideal conditions. A complete control may take up to 2 weeks. Weeds must be actively growing. For best results, temperatures should be consistently above 60 degrees. Night time temperatures below 40 will slow results. Fluctuating day time temperatures, where temperatures are frequently dropping below 60 degrees, will slow results. The label states that if weeds are taller than 6 inches, mow or cut down weeds and remove debris before treatment. This is because taller weeds are more difficult to kill and will prevent product from reaching the soil to provide the year long weed prevention. The weeds and ground should be wet after application. Allow product to soak into the ground. During drought weeds will slow their growth down. If the weeds are drought stressed watering them the day before will typically prompt them to start growing which means they will take in the herbicide which will then kill them.

                          Shake well before using
                          Works well , HOWEVER the chemicals settle to the bottom of the container. The first mix of 24 OZ Ground clear and 1 Gal of water Did Not Kill the weeds on the ground and in the gravel driveway after 2 weeks When mixing the third batch i noticed a thick light green colored syrup like sedinent in the bottom of the container which I had used to measure 24 ounces . When shaking the Ground Clear container I did not hear liquids slushing around. I added water then shook well & emptied the jug into a clear plastic bottle. The liquid in the clear bottle was light green and thick like syrup. I then used that liquid & 2 gallons of water to make 2 batches I think that batch will do what Ground Clear is intended to do

                            Overall disappointed in how product is working.
                            Bought (2 gal. concentrate) last fall in case I needed it as I was using up the last of my generic Roundup. I didn't need it until this spring. I picked this product as it apparently lasts all season long and the 2 gallon "concentrate" should last for awhile. Wrong, the mix rate is 24 oz. to the gallon, hardly a concentrate as I would expect mush less per gallon, As others have mentioned, no mixing directions on package, had to find information online. As far as performance, after spraying over a week ago (gravel parking area) not much happening, a few droopy leaves on some of the weeds is the only indication I had sprayed something. Nowhere near the speed of kill that is advertised. Was the product supposed to be shaken in the container before measuring? That is something I didn't do, but then again with no directions how was I supposed to know if it was required? Overall, very disappointed in the performance of this product for the price I paid and how it is working.
