Site Clearance & Round-up/Gallup or other!

Evening all

Would love some advice!

I have a 2 acre site in the good old west (Galway), it has a 100 year old farm house on it and we use it, say, once a month. The old owner lived there full-time and had the time to spend going around it, keeping it in shape, cutting the lawns, hedges etc. Well, needless to say because I am hardly down there, the lawns are now meadows, the hedges are wild and free etc.

Now I dont mind the lawns and hedges bit, because it looks kinda nice and wild, forest like etc. But the grounds imediately around the house I have a problem with and the yard! They have become very wild and are encroaching on the house at this stage. There are some lovely trees around the house, which I have felled the lower branches off, but weeds (3 foot high in some areas) have taken over.

I like the bare soil look, like see the trunks of the trees and the bare soil under them etc, and would like to clear the weeds/overgrowth away on a permanent basis (including the yard).

I would consider myself to have green fingers, but have only dealt with city gardens!

What is best to do this with? Do I apply twice a year to keep them at bay etc? How much of the stuff do I need? Is it just a light spray or a good soaking?

Cheers:)

I have found gallup very good for clearing grassland on an area that size maybe you should invest in a knapsack sprayer and just follow the mixing
instrutions on the leaflet
