    mayweed, chickweed as far as I can see, is usually very easily controlled. when have you applied roundup? hands and knees is the best route forward:D rather you than me

    Defo chickweed, best to remove by hand as soon as it appears as it flowers & sets seed very quickly & then you'll be pulling it up forever, also destroy pulled weeds as they can regrow from roots.. Aparantly it's also edible so you could always grow it & eat it like lettuce! :D

    cabbage:D:D:D

    boiling it should kill it

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
