Also is there a right and wrong about planting rows North - South or East - West? Thanks. Panda

Sounds like you need some round up! its non residual which meen it will only be effective for around 24 hour. I'm not sure what your up to but if you want to kill of any of the longer / taller grasses then you can use a wip wipe techneic to alow the plants beneth to come through. If your looking to just clear the area then keep digging! you could hire a varity of power tools from places like A plant etc. rotovate and then rake.
good luck
