The message

Have bush that I would like to get completely rid of.It is hard up to
adjoining wooden fence.I have dug down on my side and cut all the roots I
can get at ,but neighbours shed is on the other side so cant get
down that
side.Is there any way that I can get kill this thing off eg. by drilling
holes and pouring something in.I tried a root killer bought from
Focus but
there are still new shoots appearing.


Sulphuric acid (from old accumulator.)

What will that do to the soil around, may i ask?


I do wish you'd cut out the sig of the post you're replying to...

The soil around it will not suffer - you only need a small amount of
acid, and it's quite dilute already. Any which might leach into the soil
will be neutralised very quickly, and the sulphates generated will act
as a fertiliser.
