    Is the lawn just clay now or have you reseeded it?

    Or did you put paving over it?

    I use Dicophar but that is designed for broadleaf types and may not be suitable as a general planet killing blitz for which something containing Glyphosate is effective but not something I'd use on a large scale.

    To get the proper good stuff you need license now. Usual government crap, need a license to take a pi** these days....get money for some crappy department for training

    You can buy the standard roundup stuff in woodies but it is useless

    Go to local agri suppliers, ask for proper Roundup or equivalent like Barbarian etc....see if they know if anyone can buy for you in area.....

    Just be warned the proper stuff is very dangerous, you need to know how to handle, mixture rates etc.....spraying as well as you could seriously damage lungs etc.....

    If you have no idea about any of this, see if professional in area or a farmer might do it for you....otherwise off to Woodies with ya
