So the cardboard helps the Glyphosate?

No, the cardboard smothers whatever the glyphosphate didn't kill.
If you don't want the agent orange approach, run over the whole
thing with a good strong mower, then mulch heavily with cardboard,
dead leaves, anything that makes a barrier and will rot. If you do
this in the fall, a rotovator will finish the job in the spring.
Also a good way to convert useless sod into useful veg garden! (Am
I the only one who finds the garden space creeps into the lawn?)

Thought so!
Are you in the UK?
I think not.

So what? Being located in the UK is not a requirement. His advice
above
is perfectly relevent to UK gardeners.

If you give advice from another country, or even continent,
you should say so.

He does, every time. Try reading the post.

The USA has very different climate changes from us in
the UK.

Gary Woods has been posting good (and UK-relevant) gardening advice
to
urg for many many years.

Janet.

OK, Janet

Don't get all snotty about this.

Advice from a non UK poster COULD prompt a new gardener from the UK to take
advice from the wrong person, hence uk.rec.gardening.
In my thoughts any advice from any other continent other than the UK ought
to be considered as very wrong, thus inappropiate.

There is a group(within your reader.MicroPlanet-Gravity/3.0.4)
usa.rec.gardening. But I am sure you will not give your conservative views
there.
