Leave the weeds to grow then ;-)
Using weedkiller is DIY gardening.
Just dropped 25 litres of the stuff on the roots of a tree in a
neighbours garden.
What a waste! Glyphosate is rapidly adsorbed by clay in soil and has to
hit green plant material to cause any significant damage.
Holly, ivy and buttercups seem to shrug it off too.
Not if you mix it with paraffin instead of water.
Use very sparingly and paint onto leaves.
I was talking of mass application to kill rough ground. Even the
smallest holly and ivy seedlings just shrug it off and are left alive.
