It will work for sure, another way now the summer is here is to lay a
sheet(s) of corrugated iron over the area (not on top of each other)
the lack of sunlight and the heat generated by the sun on the metal
during the day kills just about anything underneath, once the plants
are extinct move the on to the next area. Good idea to put a couple of
bricks on top if it is windy! The only problem with this method is
living with the iron on the ground - not a pretty sight.
