Destroy everything!

Hi all the best weed killer i have found that works wonders with everything is sodium chlorate it is a total unselective weed killer only thing is that it lingers around for ages in the soil 5-6months or so i cleared a really over grown spot in my garden with it and it got everything dandys, brambles, everything with deep roots because they rotted into the ground they left the holes the best way to use it is to cut all the large growth down then when the soil is moist completely saturate the area with the solution and that will sort it out

We don't want to go down the chemical route and are starting as we mean to go on. We've now cut back the whole plot and covered large sections of it while we gradually dig over to form beds where we want them. I did consider rotivating but as we've got bind weed I didn't want to break the roots up any more than necessary. Fortunatly the soil seems really good and therefore it's pretty easy to dig and pick out weeds. I know it'll take longer to get rid of them but I feel more comfortable with not using weed killers.

I personally wouldn't eat any veg, or allow my family to eat any veg from an area that had been saturated with a RESIDUAL weedkiller like Sodium Chlorate.

Just a personal view but if you are happy to do that, fair comment!
