You could just spray some fertiliser I bought from the Pound Shop. God
knows what's in it, but it kills everything it touches.

Why tell them anything.

What is their beef? I'd have thought if you were careful and did it on a

have some kind of prize plant whose roots are on soil, in which case leave

It's an approved weedkiller.

Soil contact inactivates it.

Why are you using it on the garden?
Is this selective by area, or over the whole plot?
(It might not be the right product for the task.)

Really, you all need to get together and decide what you want to
do with the garden, and who does which bits of the work. If there's
a large area of weeds to be cleared, you can volunteer to do it with
glyphosate, and they might instead offer to do it with a cultivator
(or get a "man" in), in which case you could accept that alternative
as it gets you off the hook for that.
What is the intended use of that area afterwards?
Who is going to prepare it?
Who is going to maintain it?
Do you collectively have a mower? (Perhaps you all need to chip in for one.)

Invite them to a meeting, and those who show up and offer to do the
work get to decide. As a shared garden, you probably don't have the
right to use any chemicals on it without their approval.

Indeed ... I could write a book about it.

Three absentee landlords. One owner unfit to carry out gardening. One
nervous about going into the rear garden on her own. One hardly ever
seen and listens to music on headphones. One hates gardening. Person
on the ground floor can't stand the person on the first floor. Person
on the second floor supports the person on the first floor. Person on
the second floor thinks everyone is incompetent. I tend to agree with
that viewpoint. Nearly everyone pleads shortage of money. One seems
to view maintenance as a bourgois conspiracy.

We have roof repairs outstanding but no agreement to carry out the
work. I have sent a 'project fear' letter pointing out that any
future damage is highly unlikely to be met by insurers. I do not want
to open a second front on gardening.

My aim is a 'cheap and cheerful' fix without consent to make the rear
garden more presentable and to preserve the opportunity to sell
without having to explain the state of the garden. To that end I plan
to obliterate the weeds and plant some form of robust ground cover
plants. This is a 'metre margin'. The grass can stay where it is.

Reminds me of a conveyancing lawyer:
"At least in a divorce the parties want an end-point. With a
neighbour dispute parties are more determined and there is less
incentive to settle. These disputes are usually only resolved when
one party moves."

It's not entirely fallacious. The people who owned this house before us
mounted a tap on a cherry tree using brass screws and that was making
the tree rather poorly. Admittedly, it wasn't dying.

It's in Scotland so regulated by the Tenement Management Scheme in the

I've seen such an arrangement come a cropper when provisions were
made for a unofficial sinking fund.

Yes, I'm a bit nervous about funds held by our Residents' Association.
I prefer to sideline the RA and convene as a statutory meeting, but
the others (apart from one solicitor) see this as purely academic.

TBH I never looked at was in the weedkiller. I know that it killed a
