gallup is 'roundup' works on nearly everything, its a bit slow acting but kills the whole plant. On more stubborn weeds give them a kick/stiff brushing first to remove the wax from the leaves , letting the roundup into the leaf. At work

provideing not tarmac, 5 gallon desil let it soak in for 10 mins stand well back and ignite

Some years ago when we lived in Zambia I decided to "weed" the dirt drive the easy way. So 5 gallons of petrol were liberally poured onto the drive and allowed to soak into the dirt. Applied a match resulting in a bloody great 'whoosh' much to the amusement of our houseboy who then said it wouldn't work. Well, he was right the grass came back with vengence.

Tap up your local farmer for some Round Up, you can't beat it. If that's not possible, good old table salt out of the pot kills just about every weed. That's what I use for spot treatment on the lawns and where pets are around.

Cheap as chips and also good on them!

Ive just ordered a weed burner. No idea if it’s any good but it looks fun. Only £20 off Amazon with 8 gas canisters.  Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

You’ll soon find the weed burner is indispensable for all manner of jobs around the place, great piece of kit! ...pretty useless for killing weeds though!  2005 D3 2.7 Auto

Anyone tried the kiln dried sand with added weed killer,wicks used to sell it.

What about the poor insects?

Barbeque them with the weed burner!

flame burners are good when they are dead, to cook a health live weed with a burner is a long process

I bought one and now kill the weeds off and then burn away, just don't do it bear footed  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
