Ortho GroundClear Weed & Grass Killer Super Concentrate - Reusable

In this review of the Ortho GroundClear Weed & Grass Killer Super Concentrate kit, the bottom line is practical: it is for homeowners and small property managers who want a concentrated, fast-acting solution and a reusable bottle to reduce plastic waste. The kit combines a reusable 5 gal bottle with a Comfort Wand and two 5 oz refill pouches so you can mix only what you need. Reviewers noted quick results on many common weeds, and the refill pouches make repeated treatments more economical and better for the environment.

Key Features

• Super concentrate: Small refill pouches deliver a concentrated formula that mixes into 12 gal of water for wide coverage without storing large amounts of chemical.
• Reusable bottle: The included empty 5 gal bottle and Comfort Wand let users mix and spray with a comfortable grip and reduce single-use plastic waste.
• Contact and systemic action: The formula starts to work on contact and moves within the plant to kill to the root so treated weeds are less likely to return.
• Versatile application: Designed for use on gravel, mulch, patios, walkways, driveways, and along fences and buildings for precise spot treatment.
• Fast-acting: Visible effects can begin within hours with complete kill typically seen within 1-2 weeks on susceptible weeds.

Who It's For

The Ortho GroundClear kit suits homeowners who want to treat isolated patches or larger trouble spots without buying single-use gallon jugs; one 5 oz pouch mixed to 12 gal covers roughly 175 sq. ft. It is also useful for small property managers who value the included Comfort Wand for easier spraying and the reduced plastic waste from refill pouches.

It is not the best choice for someone who needs broadcast application equipment or who prefers ready-to-use bottles; users who expect immediate complete clearance overnight should also note that some weeds can take up to 1-2 weeks to die completely despite early visible damage.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Effective on many tough weeds and grasses, with customers reporting fast visible decline within 24 hours.
• Refill pouches cut plastic waste compared with large refill bottles and are more economical for repeated use.
• Includes a reusable 5 gal bottle and Comfort Wand for comfortable, controllable application.
• Works on contact and moves within the plant to reach roots, reducing regrowth in treated areas.

Cons

• Some users reported mixed sprayability, so performance can depend on sprayer setup and technique.
• Requires mixing and a separate sprayer; not as convenient as a ready-to-use bottle for very small jobs.
