The time has come to tackle a large area of overgrown weeds in my garden. Been putting it off but must do something before they take over the entire garden! Thinking about buying some weed killer to start with and noticed online that Roundup has a cash back offer on so thought I might go for that. Has anyone used Roundup before and if so, is it any good and any helpful tips when using it. Any help would be appreciated as I have never used a weedkiller before. Thanks.

Do you have any plans for planting edibles in the area where you clear out
the weeds?

I don't do chemicals, but I don't have a huge garden. I dug over our front & back by hand, pulling out every clump of weed/grass/moss that i found. Once the soil had been tilled it was easy to pull out the baby weeds as they reappeared. Alternatively, less labour intensive is to lay old carpet on the unwanted greenery, after a few weeks the plants will die from lack of light & start to compost themselves. Good luck.
