I've been asked to clear up the area around some lock-up garages.


Sodium Chlorate is a total weedkiller, i.e. non-selective, which is
taken up through the roots of the plant. It will prevent all growth on
the treated ground for about 6 months. If it can be safely applied in
the area in question and not spread elsewhere to kill cultivated
plants, the top growth should be removed first to allow as much as
possible of the solution to soak into the ground. It will kill all
vegetation and prevent seed germination. It is not a 'contact'
weedkiller and must be able to soak into the ground.



Cheers, so I'll strim first, and weedkiller afterwards.
