Bloody weeds... everywhere!
I have looked around the interweb...
Best DIY solutions for spray-applied stuff that will knock-em for 6 is

what
I'm after.

Some suggest brown vinegar (hot)
Others say Jays-fluid (if sprayed should it be diluted and to what ratio?)
Steam Cleaners (don't have one and would be a great expense for beating up

a
few weeds)

Dandelions are the worst..
(helped by a 6 year old that likes to tell the time by Dandelion clock)

All ideas welcome.

Well most pond shops sell 500g tubs of sodium chlorate which makes upto 20lt
water/spray weedkiller.
There just isn't anything diy cheaper Or more effective then this.

But it will wipe out all vegetation without selection and there will be
a period of time when one can't replant.
