Weed Killer - Pet Friendly but works!
4 Answers
Last year I cleared a small patch of ground that had grasses and brambles growing on it. Despite digging deep with a pick axe to get at the roots, and after much back breaking, the grasses and brambles returned. I have just repeated this exercise, but feel sure that unless I put some kind of weed killer down, it'll be back to square one again. I want to plant shrubs, but only after I can be sure the persistent weeds have been controlled. I know I can expect some regrowth of weeds, but hopefully I can eradicate them in the main. The ground is not fenced and is frequented by cats, and the occasional frog, so I want any weedkiller to be wildlife, pet and child safe. Any suggestions welcomed.

Continual digging out is ok whilst the ground is clear, but once shrubs are plasnted and become established, it will be difficult to get at the base of brambles etc. The roots go deep down for seemingly miles. I was hoping there might be some kind of weed killer that I could "paint" onto the freshly severed root. I'll check out the local garden centre for the ones containing the Glyphos stuff I think. Cheers, advice appreciated.
