I'm trying to eradicate a collection of nettles and other weeds from my
summer bulbs bed using Roundup Gel.
How much gel do I need to use?
- a dab on one leaf?
- cover all the leaves?
- a smear over a few leaves?
The instructions on the container seem enthusiastic but are not very
precise.
Anybody know?

I find pulling weeds up is just as effective as weed killer. It takes
a few years before they give up trying.

The fastest way is a combined physical and chemical attack.

Depending on quite how pernicious the weed is weaken it with weedkiller
and then dig up or dig up and then spot weed any new growth the moment
it surfaces. Ground elder needs the former treatment to zap it.

I've never even seen Ground elder.

If it invaded my garden I would probably eat it as it's supposed to be
tasty!
