Default How does one kill plants?

Hello everyone, never posted here before but I sure hope I can get some
help.

I have a patch in my garden which I would dearly like to kill everything
off--plants, shrubs and grass--since I will be placing clay bricks in
this position in 2 months. Can anyone tell me what chemical/s I could
use to permanently kill every living plant in this area?


In the growing season, glyphosate is pretty good at it.
I hesitate to suggest the use of liberal doses of sodiunm chlotate,


Another damn typo. Chlorate.

because
I don't know what happens next to the patch you want to kill.

I wonder if mid-January is going to be a propitious time for mucking about
outside with clay bricks. What do you propose to put below the bricks?
