Sorry David, but it looks like bullshit to me, thiocyanate is sulfur +

What heavy metals?

In any event, I would simply pull the weeds. Do it in spring and you'll
be done with them. I'd rather spend a few hours pulling weeds than many
more hours researching, shopping for, and applying herbicides.

Sorry about that. I probably shouldn't post late at night. Arsnic isn't
a heavy metal. It is just very, very, nasty stuff.

What arsenic?

Una

Excellent point. I assure you that arsenic is, occasionally, the right
answer to some questions. I'm afraid that I had been thinking about
pesticides at the turn off the 20th century, here in the US of A, and
lead arsenate was a prominent culprit. Late at night (for me), and I
jumped the track.
It's 6:30 PM where I am. Disregard all further posts until tomorrow.
Now where did I put my happy hour?
