This should get a quick response.

I have just moved into to a new build with just the "topsoil" in the garden. It is next to a farmers field in a semi-rural/urban setting and on top of a natural hedgerow.

The builder sprayed my garden last July and most of the weeds died. I wanted to get rid of the weeds by hand and so far cleared an area roughly 10% of the size of my garden. Since starting in March new growth has already started to appear in the cleared area.

As for the rest of the garden it's gone weeds bonkers! The soil type is sandy with a pH value of 8-8.5 and faces south.

I now accept that I cannot do this by digging each one individually up. I also want to do this the most environmentally friendly way possible.

My garden is 550sq metres.......please help.

Thanks.
