Anything out there that can kill grass and everything else down to the roots
and have the soil free for planting in a month's time?
would appreciate any ideas.....sodium chloride doesnt seem to do the job
well enough.

Did you mean sodium chloride (common salt) or sodium chlorate (weedkiller).
Either way they will poison the soil for months.
There are some weedkillers that can be sprayed onto foliage that will kill all
weeds (grass included) and you can plant up in a months time - Memory fails, but I
think one is called "Roundup" but I'm not sure. Have a look at your garden centre
or DIY store - there are definitely weedkillers to do what you need.
