Recommend me a weed killer/suppressant

[Mike Dempsey]

I have a few decent logs to plank up in the next few months. I have been working this site for a couple of years now and I am geting fed up trying to avoid the nettles, thistles and brambles.

Can someone please recommend to me the best weed killer or preferably a suppressant that I can use now to prevent them growing and giving me a less painful life!

Could you just cover it all in woodchip? It'll surpress the regrowth once its down as well as get rid of chip.

Just a standard glyphosate from Monsanto should do the trick but brambles will take repeated hits. A selective herbicide that they use for lawn weeds is quite potent as well. There's one called Re-act. Or anything with mecoprop, 2-4d or glyphosate as the active ingredient should do the trick. Like I say though, brambles are pretty tough customers and will prob require repeated sprays.

Just let the rabbits in!

Bayer Pistol Residual herbicide.

 

Kills everything, stays active in soil for up to 6 months

Depends on the location and ground conditions. We,ve found this a good longer term solution.

Napalm! Getting the risk assessment and method statement passed is a bugger though!

Most of them I wouldnt be allowed to use legally. Think I will go with some sort of roundup type thing. Shocked by some of the prices being charged out there.
