I need to blitz my old lawn / weeds before re-turfing. Where is the

for example. Midlands region. Thanks, Simon.

Is the lawn that far gone that you need to blitz it with glyphosate?
BTW glyphosate seldom kills buttercup or ivy the first time around.

In spring using a broadleaf specific weed and feed mixture with a moss
killer will turn even quite badly degraded lawns back into something
presentable more cheaply and with a lot less effort than relaying turf
from scratch. Then rake out the dross and reseed any bald patches.

If you insist on glyphosate then wait until it warms up a bit and the
grass is growing strongly. Be careful of spray drift and traces left on
boots or you will leave outlines where you step on good grass and cause
lots of unintended collateral damage in the borders.


Suggest you read the OP...
