Dave, I suspect that you not used either gyphyosate ...

I have but only on Ground Elder. I'd rather not use it at all.

Weed Burner: Hideously dangerous - if you get things hot enough to do
the job the gravel explodes and shatters all over the place.

Sounds like *you* haven't used a burner properly. You don't need to
incinerate the plants just waft the flame over them. The blast of
heat ruptures the cell walls and they die back within a few days. Not
noticed how the leaves on bushes too near but not within flame range
of a decent bonfire all turn brown a few days later?


point of a weed burner is to sterilise the soil of buried seeds as well.
