Killer Roots

[genius101]

We have just moved into a new house and the small garden was completely overgrown with Ivy, Brambles and several large tree/bushes.

It has been cut down and we have pulled out as many of the roots to the trees and brambles as we can but is there anything we can put down to kill everything off?

We then plan to have decking, is there anything we should do to the ground underneath to stop re-growth?

Hi genius101,
I would recomend 'Sbk brushwood killer' for the woody stuff, ie brambles etc but if you also have large tree stumps, then 'Rootout' or amcide' should do the trick.
SBK is a systemic herbicide and will work through to the roots and kill the weeds entirely, take great care and follow the instructions, it's powerful stuff! Good Luck Tbird+

What time of year is the best for the salt trick?

We have black sheeting to cover the garden with but I was wondering what to put under-neath to use as a double remedy!!!

Ta both of you for the advice
