	Revolutionary new 'swan neck' system for Roundup Scotts Australia has launched a revolutionary new delivery system for its best-selling weed-killer, Roundup. The new system which makes weeding an easy, simple task, comes in the form of an ergonomically-designed trigger pack with a unique `swan' neck and gravity-defying pump system, designed to spray downwards - where the weeds are. Unlike existing trigger packs designed to spray vertical surfaces, which are ineffective when the bottle is less than a third full and tilted past 45 degrees, the new Roundup system prevents wastage and mess, as well as the frustration of trying to spray weeds when nothing is coming out, yet the bottle still feels full! Designed to rest along the forearm with the swan-neck shaped trigger in hand, the ergonomic design also distributes weight equally to provide a comfortable grip and avoid wrist strain. Scotts Australia, Tel: (02) 8853 7300.
