Clearing grass for a cutting garden - advice needed

[Nurseygreen]

Hi all,
As most of my veggies are in I'm now ready to start on my cut flower bed. The problem is it's currently a lovely mix of grass/couch/bindweed. As I'm not eating anything from it I don't mind sticking some product on it to make it a bit quicker.
Are there any products that will get rid of the above but leave the soil suitable for planting hydrangeas, dahlias, roses etc?
Thanks.

Could you cover it with cardboard, plastic, newspapers etc & plant through it?

I think the problem with a lot of weedkillers that would clear the ground completely is that you would then need to wait a good while before you can plant anything else in it. It might be worth doing though so you know it's definitely gone, as the alternative is slowly digging out all of the bits of roots.

We did clear a patch of ground with this stuff

It certainly did the job. It does say you can use it around plants, which we did actually manage to do without killing anything too big or established. Not sure when you can replant afterwards though, we left it a year

I've managed to find something that only kills what it touches the leaves of (including couch grass and bindweed) and you can plant in the ground after three weeks (it says to leave it that long to make sure it's all dead) so going to give that a go. All of my plants are in pots waiting to go in so a few more weeks won't hurt I'm sure!

Good luck! Let us know how you get on
