can anyone help with advice on how to kill off a very uneven grass and weed

Looking for some kind of fast acting grass/weed killer, spray or whatever.

Are there dandelions in there? If so, don't dig or rotovate until you've given them
at least 3 goes with the glyphosate. Dandelions spread and multiply like nobody's
business if you cut up the root. If digging up, important to get the root out whole.
Creeping buttercup is nearly as bad.

Also, make sure you get the industrial strength glyphosate, not the B&Q stuff (good
though it is)
