is there a weed killer that kills all weeds and brambles/ nettles fast and actually works?? fed up of buying and still having weeds

I have moved your thread into our Gardening Group as I am sure someone here will be able to help.

Please only post threads related to Sheffield in the Sheffield Discussions section.

Thanks

ive been advised to buy 'round up' but this seems to be expensive and I haven't used it so not sure whether it kills everything

Anything that contains Glyphosate or Paraquat will do the job.

Phanerothyme, how long before you can plan stuff after putting this down??

If you use Glyphosate, it takes a few weeks to kill the weeds, but it does kill the roots too. You can plant as soon as you like after that.

Paraquat is much more toxic. It kills weeds, roots and humans. Be careful with it.

This (http://gardeners-world.net/prod_show.asp?prodid=6028) is the best thing for getting rid of brambles.

Absolutely no idea. Paraquat is the daddy, it kills plants quickly - just spray it on the green parts, and the plant will absorb it and die, roots and all.

Fatally toxic in minute doses though.
