All ideas welcome.

Biodiesel, seriously.


There's one I hadn't come across.
Does it kill to the root or just wither & die to re-grow?

Would regular paraffin do the same job I wonder as I still have a few
gallons left in the tank from the the days our shop was a hardware
store.


You may joke but true. In my youth (don't ask) tractor vapourising oil
(green paraffin) was used to kill broad leaved weeds in germinated
carrots!
