thanks for all the comments, i'll starts weed-killering the worst areas now.

If the weeds are quite tall, it might be a good idea to run a rugged
mower at a high setting across them first, and rake away the debris.
(Ideally, I'd have done this a month ago!) It can be a bit of a pain
dribbling herbicide over taller weeds, and using a sprayer high up
won't make you popular with the other plot-holders.

It's probably safer to have a separate and very different-looking
watering can for weedkiller, by the way: a red one if possible.
