Hello there, I hope somebody can guide me. I'm something of a novice
gardener so forgive me if this is a stupid question.
I have a flower bed that to my shame has been somewhat neglected. I've
decided to rip it up and start again (as somebody once sang) and I mean
start again. I hacked away at friend and foe alike on saturday. Scorched
earth policy.
I want to make sure no roots make a comeback so I can the plant without
concern. I've read about 'Round Up'. is that the way to go or is there a
better way. I'm afraid I'm looking for the most hassle free option as
I'm not dedicated enough to get on my knees with a trowel!
Can anyone give me some tips?
Thanks in advance - VM.

Roundup is good stuff but it works best on plants that are growing strongly
with lots of green leaf, bit of elbow grease is probably the best way to
start, you can always treat any thing you miss with round up later
