smother and mulch. use newspapers or heavy landscape fabric.
If it is in the sun you can try clear plastic to sterilize the soil.
digging will just bring weed seeds up to the top to germinate, so dont do that.
it may be that you are not applying the roundup or ?? correctly at the right time of
year, right time of day... read the instructions carefully. Ingrid

I have a yard and some flower beds that are getting over taken by
weeds. I live in Northern Michigan and have to be honest and say that
I have neglected my yard the past few summers. Well know I really
want to clean it up so my family can enjoy it, however I really have
no idea how to do it? I have tried some week killer's like RoundUp
and tried spraying a more concentrated week killer with no success. I
have even tried weed killing fertilizer. My question is should I just
dig up the flower beds in my yard that are overridden with weeds and
start from scratch, or is there a way to kill them?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Derek
