Cutting them down and then applying glyphosate is just about the least
effective way of using it. Do one or the other but not both at the same
time. The fastest way is a glyphosate hit, then a slash and burn and
finally physical removal of anything that is left. Spot weeding as
needed
to remove regrowth (and be aware there will be nettle seeds in the
ground
for decades to come). So you will need to hit it every year with a hoe
or
weedkiller to prevent new seedlings growing to big plants.

I am learning about glyphosate and I have a question. If one cuts down
all
the weeds, and waits for the new shoots and then spray those shoots, would
that be an effective way to treat them?

If you wait until they have leaves, yes.

That was my plan g
