can anyone help with advice on how to kill off a very uneven grass and
weed
covered lawn approx 60x20 feet area so I can start again. Recently moved
into a house where garden was neglected for nearly 10 years, can you
imagine, all types of rubbish dumped in it and full of broken glass etc.
Looking for some kind of fast acting grass/weed killer, spray or
whatever.
thanks

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)

Well, I'm pretty much a beginner at this gardening lark. I use Roundup but it seems
to me some of the more senior members of this group have access to some form of
mega-roundup. I think I heard someone mention getting it from a horticultural
supplier.......

Or maybe I've just got tougher weeds:-(
